Explanation

There are 26 black cards (13 spades, 13 clubs) in a deck of 52 cards. Probability = 26/52 = 1/2.

AI explanation

Using the classical definition of probability, a standard pack contains 52 cards of which 26 are black. The probability is the number of black cards divided by the total number of cards, which is 26/52. Simplifying this fraction gives a probability of 1/2.
