Answer
If you pick only one card, the probability is C(26,1)/C(52,1)=26/52 =1/2. The Cs are binomial coefficients. You can read C(26,1) as ’26 choose 1′ and similarly C(52,1) is ’52 choose 1.’
Another way to figure this probability is to notice that there are 26 red cards (13 hearts and 13 diamonds). The other 26 cards are black ones (clubs and spades). We leave out the jokers. So 1/2 of the whole deck of 52 cards is 26 red ones. Drawing one card, your chance of picking a red one is 50%. We say the probability of choosing a red card is 26/52 (=1/2). You could write P(choosing a red card)=1/2.
