Find the probability of you are dealt a 3:

\frac{1}{13}

Find the probability of a red card:

\frac{1}{2}

Find the probability of you are dealt a 3 and a red card:

\frac{1}{26}

Use the Inclusion-Exclusion formula

P (X \lor Y) = P (X) + P (Y) - P (X \land Y)

= \frac{1}{13} + \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{26}

\frac{1}{13} + \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{26} = \frac{7}{13}

= \frac{7}{13}
