andras is correct.
$$P(A\cap B)=P(A)P(B|A)$$

I will have applied probability next year, cant wait!

anonymous · Answer

my answer would be two fractions then if I have to keep the answer in a fraction?

anonymous · Answer

A = the event the  first card is the ace of spades, B is the event the second card is the queen of hearts
$$P(A)=\frac{1}{52}$$
$$P(B|A)=\frac{1}{51}$$

product is $$\frac{1}{2652}$$
