Miya Mccormick · Answer 1

P (red 5) = 2/52 = 1/26

P (red 4) = 1/26

P (red 4 OR red 5) = 1/26 + 1/26 = 1/13 answer

Anton Garner · Answer 2

There is 2 red fives in a deck (Hearts and Diamonds) and 2 red fours, for a total of 4 possible cards.

This would give a probability of 4/52, which reduces to a 1/13 probability.
