You can put this solution on YOUR website! you have been dealt 2 cards from a deck of 52 shuffled cards.
there are four suits or 13 cards each.
two suits are black and two are red.
what is the probability the two cards you are dealt will both be black?
----
# of pairs of black cards: 26C2 = (26*25)/(1*2) = 325
----
# of random pairs of cards: 52C2 = (52*51)/(1*2) = 1326
---
Prob(2 black cards) = 325/1326 = 0.2451
