A card is randomly drawn from a shuffled deck of cards and NOT REPLACED. A second card is drawn from the remaining shuffled cards. What is the approximate probability that both cards are RED?

THE ANSWER IS NOT 24.5 OR 25.


A. 24.5%

B. 25%

C. 49%

D. 50%

Answer 1

24.5%

Explanation:

There are 52 cards

26 are red and 26 are black

1st card drawn

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

card is not replaced

25 are red and 26 are black = 51 cards

2nd card drawn

P(red) = 25/51

P(red , no replacement, red) = 1/2 * 25/51 =25/102 = 24.5%
