There are a total of 4 kings, and a total of 13 hearts; from that, you must subtract 1, since otherwise you would count the king of hearts double. Thus, in a pack of 52 cards, your probability is (4 + 13 - 1) / 52, or 16/52.

Probability of drawing a heart: 1/4 Probability of drawing a club: 1/4 Probability of drawing a heart or a club: 1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4 = 1/2
The probability of drawing a red heart is 1 in 4. This is the same as the probability of drawing a heart, as red is included as a superset of hearts.
The probability of drawing a king is 4:52The probability of drawing a diamond is 13:52 (or 1:4)The probability of drawing a king (0.07692...) then replacing that king into the deck then drawing a diamond is 0.019230769.If you leave the king out, the probability will be slightly greater (4/52) * (13/51)Unless the king you left out of the deck was a king of diamonds, in which case, the probability would be (4/52) * (12/51)

The probability of drawing a jack is, P(J) = 1/13.The probability of drawing a queen is, P(Q) = 1/13.The probability of drawing a king is, P(K) = 1/13.The probability of drawing a jack or drawing a queen or drawing a king is;P(J or Q or K) = 1/13 + 1/13 + 1/13 = 3/13 = 0.23076923... ≈ 23.1%.
