### Probability: OR for Mutually Exclusive Events - Example and Exercises

**Example:**
What is the probability of one card dealt being red OR spade?

- Since no red card is a spade, the probability calculation is:
\[ \frac{26}{52} + \frac{13}{52} = \frac{39}{52} \]
- This fraction reduces to:
\[ \frac{3}{4} \]

---

**Exercises:**

1. **What is the probability of drawing an ace or a king with one card drawn?**

2. **What is the probability of rolling a one or a six when rolling one die?**
