On a standard deck of 52 playing cards how many cards are red or 6?
There are 13 red heart cards and 13 red diamond cards. There are 4 six cards; 2 of which are red. So, on a standard deck of 52 playing cards how many cards are red or 6 is 13+13+2 = 28.

What is the probability if two cubes whose faces are numbered 1 through 6 will show the same number?
The probability of rolling doubles on a pair of dice is 1 in 6, or about 0.1667.
The probability the first ball will be red is 5/8.
The probability that the first and second balls will be red is 5/8 x 4/7.
The probability that the first, second, and third balls will be red is 5/8 x 4/7 x 3/6, or overall 60/336 (about 17.86%).

What is a good hand in Texas holdem?
There a many good hands in Texas Holdem, such as, Three of a kind (when you get dealt your two cards, they are the same numbers on both, and there is a card on the table with the same number as the cards in your hand), the Straight (five consecutive cards- Aces may be used before a two or after a King), the Flush (five cards of the same suit), Full House (three of a kind and one pair), Four of a Kind (four cards with the same number), and the best hand is the Straight Flush (five consecutive cards of the same suit). The lowest hands in Texas Holdem are, High Card (Ace, king, Queen, Jack, Ten, Nine, Eight etc.), One Pair (two cards with the same number), Two Pairs (for example, you have pairs of Aces and Tens).
There is a 40% chance that it will be an odd number.
Explanation:
The first five prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11. If one of the two numbers chosen is 2, the sum of the two numbers will be odd.
2 + 3 = 5
2 + 5 = 7
2 + 7 = 9
2 + 11= 13
But, if both numbers chosen are odd, the sum will be an even number.
3 + 5 = 8
3 + 7 = 10
3 + 11 = 14
5 + 7 = 12
5 + 11 = 16
7 + 11 = 18
So, there are four possible combinations out of 10 that result in a sum that is odd.
Another way to do this, without listing the possible combinations, is to determine the chance of randomly selecting the 2. Two numbers are being chosen from five, so there is a 2/5 = 40% chance of selecting a 2, which means the sum will be odd.

die are usually 6 sided if this is the case then 2/6 but you have to simplify it so you end up with 1/3
The probability is 1.
"statified sampling" is a way of getting an 'average' which represents the entire universe, or every thing that exists that somebody wants to count or measure. The entire universe is broken down into groups that dont overlap and a 'sample' is taken from each group. If it is done to the satifaction of statiticians, it can be as accurate, if not more because of the problems of counting and measuring everything, than a total count of measurments.
What is the probability of getting a number less than 7 on a standard six-sided die?
100%.
Hello, 6 sided die? There is no number greater than 6, therefore no 7. This is like a Kindergarten question.
