Question

A player draws two cards from a standard deck of playing cards without replacing them. What is the probability that both cards are red? Group of answer choices

Answer 1

25 / 102

Explanation:

Number of red cards in a standard deck = 26

Total number of cards in a deck = 52

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

Two cards drawn without replacement :

1st draw:

P(red) = 26 / 52 = 1/2

2nd draw :

(26 - 1) / (52 - 1) = 25/51

Probability of red after 2 draws without replacement :

1/2 * 25 /51 = 25 / 102
