If one card is drawn from a standard deck of 52 playing cards, what is the probability of drawing a red card?

A standard deck of 52 playing cards consists of:

- 26 red cards (13 hearts and 13 diamonds)
- 26 black cards (13 spades and 13 clubs)

To find the probability of drawing a red card:

\[
P(\text{red card}) = \frac{\text{number of red cards}}{\text{total number of cards}} = \frac{26}{52} = \frac{1}{2}
\]

Thus, the probability of drawing a red card is \( \frac{1}{2} \) or 50%.
