There are n cards on a table numbered from $1$ to $n$ , where $n$ is an even number. Two people take turns taking away the cards. The first player will always take the card with the largest number on it, but the second player will take a random card. Prove: the probability that the first player takes the card with the number $i$ is $\frac{i-1}{n-1}$
