To solve the question:

We know that:

• A standard deck of cards contains 52 cards.
• There are 4 suits (Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs, Spades) with 13 cards each.
• Hearts and Diamonds are Red cards, while Clubs and Spades are Black cards.

So, the number of red cards is:

• 13 Hearts + 13 Diamonds = 26 Red cards.

The probability of drawing a red card is: $\frac{26 \, \text{red cards}}{52 \, \text{total cards}} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5$

As a percentage: $0.5 \times 100 = 50\%$

Thus, the probability of drawing a red card is 50%.

Here are 5 related questions to expand your understanding:

1. What is the probability of drawing a black card instead?
2. How would the probability change if two cards are drawn without replacement?
3. What is the probability of drawing a face card (Jack, Queen, King) from a standard deck?
4. If one card is drawn, what is the probability it is a heart or a spade?
5. How many red face cards are there in a deck?

Tip: Probabilities are often calculated as fractions, but converting them into percentages makes them easier to interpret in real-world contexts.
