Answer:
Explanation:
The probability of drawing 2 red cards from a standard 52-card deck can be calculated as follows:
There are 26 red cards in the deck, so the probability of drawing a red card on the first draw is 26/52.
After the first card is drawn, there are 25 red cards remaining in the deck out of 51 total cards, so the probability of drawing a red card on the second draw is 25/51.
To find the probability of both events happening together (drawing 2 red cards), we multiply the probabilities of each event:
(26/52) * (25/51) = 0.245 or approximately 24.5%
Therefore, the probability of drawing 2 red cards in a standard 52 card deck is approximately 24.5%.
