Question

Determine whether the event is impossible, unlikely, as likely as not, likely, or certain. Then tell whether the probability is 0, close to 0, 1/2, close to 1 or 1.

Randomly picking a red card from a standard deck of cards.

I know that there are 52 cards in a deck. 26 are red and 26 are black which makes the odds of drawing a red card exactly 1 in 2.
My answer: Likely and the probability is 1/2.

Your answer is correct. When randomly picking a card from a standard deck, the event of picking a red card is likely to occur because there are equal numbers of red and black cards in the deck. The probability of drawing a red card is indeed 1/2 since there are 26 red cards out of a total of 52 cards in the deck.
