The probability of diamond being red is 1 (certainty) because all diamonds (in cards) are red. However, the probability of a red card being a diamond is 1/2 because there are as many hearts as diamonds. The probability of a card being red is 1/2 because half the cards in a pack are black and half red. The probability of a card being a diamond is 1/4 because there are four different suits. I hope this helps.
