                                                            Problem:    Two Cards are chosen at random from a deck.

                                                                                    What is the probability of getting red cards ?

 

                                                            Solution     There are 26 red cards in the deck of cards?

                                                            Step 1:                                                                                          

                           

                                                            Solution     Total deck = 52

Step 2: 

                              

                                                            Solution    Probability = 26/52 = 1/2           

                                                            Step 3:           

 

                                                            Solution     Answer is : 1/2  

                                                            Step 4:
