Two aces are missing from an otherwise normal deck of cards. If a card is selected at random from the deck, is this the probability that the selected card will be an ace?

There are 52 cards in a deck. If 2 are missing then there are 50 cards.

The chance of getting an ace is 2:50

50/50 chance it is either you do or you don't!
Hope this helps!
