Answer:

24.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability to draw a red card is 26 out of 52 cards, after the first card is drawn the probability of a new red card is 25 out of 51.

You have to multiply both probabilities because you want both events to happen

P = (26/52)*(25/51)*100 = 24.5%

The approximate probability that both cards are RED is 25%

There are 26 red cards in a standard deck of 52 cards.

The probability of selecting a red card is:

P(Red) = 26/52

After the first selection of a red card, there are 25 red cards remaining and 52 cards in the deck.

The probability of selecting another red card is:

P(Red) = 25/51

The probability that both cards are red is:

P(Both) = 26/52 * 25/51

This gives

P(Both) = 0.245

Express as percentage

P(Both) = 24.5%

Approximate

P(Both) = 25%

Hence, the approximate probability that both cards are RED is 25%
