Step 1 :There are 2 black sevens and 2 black jacks in a 52-card deck. So, the total favorable outcomes are 4.
Step 2 :The total possible outcomes are 52 (since there are 52 cards in a deck).
Step 3 :The probability of an event is calculated as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the number of possible outcomes.
Step 4 :So, we need to calculate the ratio \(\frac{4}{52}\).
Step 5 :Simplify the fraction \(\frac{4}{52}\) to \(\frac{1}{13}\).
Step 6 :Final Answer: The probability of selecting a black seven or a black jack from a 52-card deck is \(\boxed{\frac{1}{13}}\).
