Answer:

2 / 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of cards in a standard deck = 52

Number of 4's = 4 ( 1 for each suit)

Number of 6's = 4 (1 for each suit)

Probability, P = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

P(a 4) = 4 / 52 = 1/ 13

P(a 6) = 4 /52 = 1/13

Probability of either a 4 or a 6

P(a 4) + P(a 6)

1/13 + 1/13

= 2 / 13
