&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The answer by &amp;nbsp;@Mananth  &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;{{{26/52}}} = {{{1/2}}}  &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;is &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;INCORRECT.


&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;For your safety, &amp;nbsp;ignore his post.




The correct answer  is  &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;{{{26/36}}} = {{{13/18}}} = 0.7222 = 72.22% &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;(rounded).



He mistakenly used the denominator of &amp;nbsp;52, &amp;nbsp;because he remembers this number associated with the standard card deck,

and nobody was near him &amp;nbsp;(or her) &amp;nbsp;to explain that it is &amp;nbsp;WRONG.



Here we have &amp;nbsp;TOTALLY &amp;nbsp;different case and different numbers.
