Question

Michelle draws a card from a standard deck of 52 cards. She replaces the card and draws a second card. What is the probability that she draws a red card and then a black card?

Answer 1

Hmm how many black cards are in a deck? half right?

Answer 2

Yes, half

Answer 3

There should be 26 black and 26 red cards, so probability that she gets a red on the first one is: 26/52

Answer 4

which is 1/2

Answer 5

Then she replaces the card, so we have 52 cards again

Answer 6

So the answer's:
(1/2)*(1/2)=1/4
