A pack of 52 cards contains 26 red cards (hearts and diamonds) and 26 black cards. Using the classical probability formula, the probability of drawing a red card is the number of red cards divided by the total number of cards. This gives a probability of 26/52, which simplifies to 1/2. The probability is 1/2.
