Question

What is the probability you draw two cards of the same color from a standard 52-card deck?

Answer 1

`p = (25)/(51)`

Explanation:

52 card deck = 26 red cards + 26 black cards

1) To find probability of selecting first card from 52 cards:

`= (52)/(52)\\ = 1`

First card may be either red or black.

2) To find probability of selecting second card:

Same colored remaining cards = 25 out of 51

Probability (P) =
`(25)/(51)`
