You are planning to draw 2 cards at random without replacement. Your goal is to pull out a face card on the first draw and a heart in the second draw.
Now suppose there is a roll of quarters with one special quarter somewhere in the roll. As the roll of quarters gets bigger, your probability decreases. How many quarters would you need for the probability of selecting the special quarter to be the same as the probability of a pulling out a face card on the first draw and a heart in the second draw without replacement?
