(a) There are 12 face cards (Jack, Queen, King in each of the 4 suits) in a 52‐card deck.
$$
P(\text{face}) = \frac{12}{52} = \frac{3}{13} \approx 0.2308.
$$

(b) There are 13 diamonds and 13 spades. Since a card cannot be both a diamond and a spade, their probabilities add.
$$
P(\text{diamond or spade}) = \frac{13 + 13}{52} = \frac{26}{52} = 0.5000.
$$

(c) There are 4 cards of 2 and 4 cards of 7.
$$
P(2 \text{ or } 7) = \frac{4 + 4}{52} = \frac{8}{52} = \frac{2}{13} \approx 0.1538.
$$

(d) There are 4 aces and 13 diamonds. However, the ace of diamonds is counted in both, so subtract 1.
$$
P(\text{ace or diamond}) = \frac{4 + 13 - 1}{52} = \frac{16}{52} = \frac{4}{13} \approx 0.3077.
$$

(e) There are 12 face cards and 13 diamonds. The overlapping cards (face cards that are diamonds) total 3 (Jack, Queen, King of diamonds). Thus,
$$
P(\text{face or diamond}) = \frac{12 + 13 - 3}{52} = \frac{22}{52} = \frac{11}{26} \approx 0.4231.
$$

(f) There are 4 sevens and 26 red cards. The red sevens (from hearts and diamonds) total 2. Therefore,
$$
P(7 \text{ or red}) = \frac{4 + 26 - 2}{52} = \frac{28}{52} = \frac{7}{13} \approx 0.5385.
$$
(a) $$ P(\text{face}) = 0.2308 $$ (b) $$ P(\text{diamond or spade}) = 0.5000 $$ (c) $$ P(2 \text{ or } 7) = 0.1538 $$ (d) $$ P(\text{ace or diamond}) = 0.3077 $$ (e) $$ P(\text{face or diamond}) = 0.4231 $$ (f) $$ P(7 \text{ or red}) = 0.5385 $$
