Answer:

0.73

Explanation:

Number of cards in a standard deck = 52

Number of black cards = 26

Number of face cards = 12

Probability of drawing either a black or face card

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

P(drawing a black card or face card) = (number of black cards / total card) + (number of face cards / total cards)

= 26/52 + 12 /52

= 0.5 + 0.2307692

= 0.73
