No. of ways to select 2 cards from total 52 cards = 52C2
No. of ways to select 2 cards from 26 black cards = 26C2
required probability = 26C2 / 52C2
= 325 / 1326
= 0.245

Hi,
.
Note: There are 26 Black cards out of the 52 cards (there will be 25 out of 51 after the first black card has been dealt)
.
the probability that both cards dealt are black is:
P(1st one being black)*P(2nd one being black)
.
(26/52)*(25/51) = .245
