Question 40248: A deck of playing cards contains 26 red and 26 black cards. Two cards are drawn from the deck at one time and without replacement. what is the probability or drawing 2 black cards? Answer by Nate(3500) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The first chance of getting a black card: 26/52 or 1/2
The second chance of getting a black card: 25/51
so ....
(1/2)(25/51) = 25/102
You have about a 25% chance.
