A Correct answer
Explanation

A standard deck has 26 black cards out of 52 cards. Hence the probability of drawing a black card is 26/52 = 1/2.

AI explanation

Using the fundamental probability formula, the required probability is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes. A standard pack contains 52 cards, and a black suit consists of 26 cards, including spades and clubs. Therefore, the probability of drawing a black card is 26 divided by 52, which simplifies to 1 divided by 2.
