One 5 of diamonds in a deck of cards
There are 4 fives and 26 black cards in a standard deck.
There are four fives and four nines; so the number of cards that are a five or a nine is 4 + 4 or 8.
The question is a little ambiguous. The simpler version is: if you picked up a shuffled deck of cards and drew two cards from it, what is the possibility that they would both be fives? The probability of drawing the first five is 4 out of 52, or 1/13. The probability of drawing the second five is then 3 out of 51, or 1/17. Combining these, you get that this should happen on average once in 13x17 = 221 tries. The more complicated version is: what is the probability that if you KEEP drawing cards from the deck that you will EVENTUALLY pull out two fives in a row? This is somewhat more likely, but the math does get complicated.
Face cards are a King, Queen, or a Jack. There are 4 cards of each. So including the the 4 fives there are 16 total cards to pick in a standard deck of 52 cards. 16/52 = 4/13
