A Correct answer
Explanation

A standard deck has 52 cards, 26 of which are red (hearts and diamonds). The probability of drawing a red card is 26/52 = 1/2.

AI explanation

A standard deck of 52 playing cards contains 26 red cards and 26 black cards. Using the basic probability formula, the chance of drawing a red card is the number of red cards divided by the total number of cards. The result is 26/52, which simplifies to 1/2.
