You are dealt one card from a? 52-card deck. Calculate the probability of and odds for being dealt a six or a red card.

 

Total number of cards in a deck = 52

Number of red cards = 26

Number of Black cards = 26

Number of Sixes = 4

Since there are 4 sixes, out of which two are black and two are red

Hence total number of cards that are six or red = (number of red cards) + (number of black sixes)

Total number of cards that are six or red = 26 + 2 = 28

P(a card being dealt is a six or a red card) = 28/52 = 0.5385

The probability of a card being deal is a six or a red card is 0.5385
