Question

A card is randomly draw 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?

Answer 1

The probability to draw a red card is 26 out of 52 cards, after the first card is drawn the probability of a new red card is 25 out of 51.

You have to multiply both probabilities because you want both events to happen.

P = (26x52)*(25x51)*100 = 24.5%
