Explanation

A pack has 52 cards, 26 are black and 26 are red. The probability of drawing a card that is not black (i.e., red) is 26/52 = 1/2.

AI explanation

A standard pack contains 52 cards, of which 26 are red and 26 are black. The probability of drawing a card that is not black is the same as drawing a red card. Using the basic probability formula, this is 26 divided by 52. The result simplifies to 1 over 2.
