The probability of getting a 2 or a getting a black card, find individual probabilities;

A standard deck has 52 cards.

There are 4 2's in a normal deck; probability of getting it is 4/25

The probability of getting a black card is; 26/52 since half the deck is red and black.

Now add up the probabilities since it says "or"

(4/52)+(26/52)=30/52 probability of the card that you were dealt being a two or a black card.

Hope I helped :)
