Quizplus · Accepted Answer

There are 26 red cards in a deck of 52 cards. The probability that the first card is red is 26/52. If the first card is red, there are now 25 red cards left out of 51 total cards. The probability that the second card is red is then 25/51. The probability that both cards are red is (26/52) * (25/51) = 0.245.
