A standard deck of cards has 52 cards. There are 26 red cards among them. The probability that the first and the second cards are red
P=5226∗52−126−1=10225=0.245. Or
Number of ways to choose 2 red cards from 26 red cards
(226)=2!(26−2)!26!=325 Number of ways to choose 2 cards from 52 cards
(252)=2!(52−2)!52!=1326 The probability of dealing two red cards from a standard deck of cards
P=(226)/(252)=1326325=0.245
