this is P(pick red) AND then P(pick another).

First card: 26 reds in 52 total
Second card: now got 25 reds in 51 cards.
The important word is "AND" then. AND implies multiply, in maths, so:

--> 26/52 * 25/51 = 25/102 --> 0.245 to 3dp.

Probabilty of Selecting both Red Cards from a Normal Standard Deck of Cards
As We Khow That There are 26 Red Cards out of 52
So,
P(2 Red Cards)=[(26C2)*(26C0)]/(52C2)=25/102
Alternative Method
P(2 Red Cards)=(26/52)*(25/51)=25/102
