Answer

$\frac{7}{13}$

Work Step by Step

We know that $probability=\frac{\text{number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{number of all outcomes}}$ The total number of cards (the number of all outcomes) is $52$ There are $26$ red cards and $2$ black queens that satisfy the requirements, thus there are $26+2=28$ "good outcomes". Hence the probability here is: $\frac{28}{52}=\frac{7}{13}$
