1) There is 1/2 chance that you flip tails. You have 1/13 chance of drawing a king.

(1)/(2) + (1)/(13) = (15)/(26)

Answer:
(15)/(26) chance

2)There is 2/13 chance you draw a king or a heart.

Answer:
(2)/(13)

Hope this helps c:

Flipping a tail is 1/2 because there's only two options, drawing a king is 4/52, or 1/13, because there's 4 in 52 card deck. Drawing a heart is 1/4 because there's 4 suits.
