Step 3:
The probability of selecting Jack or a red card
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Probability of any event = }\frac{n\text{umber of required outcomes}}{n\text{umber of possible outcomes}} \\ =\text{ }\frac{4}{52}\text{ + }\frac{26}{52} \\ =\text{ }\frac{30}{52} \\ =\text{ }\frac{15}{26} \end{gathered}[/tex]Final answer
[tex]\frac{15}{26}[/tex]
