anonymous · Answer

there are 4 suites of 13 cards each ,
so the probability of getting two cards in each suit is 2/13
there are four suits ,so the probability is 2\13*4 = 8\13 -(use calculator to make it to decimals !!)

I'm not getting the question :(
The two cards, are they supposed to be both kings or both queens
or one king and one queen?

Well, there are 52 cards in a deck and 8 of them are Kings and Queens. So the probability of one random draw is 8/52. Assuming you draw one, there are 7/51 remaining, so you just need to multiply that out to get the answer. |dw:1341587716616:dw| ... by my calculations, about 2.11%
