Using a standard deck of playing cards, find the probability of selecting a king and then selecting a heart once the king has been returned to the deck?

Question

First, do you know the probability of getting a king?

anonymous · Answer

uhm, 4/52 . . . which reduces 
2/26
1/13
Right?

agent0smith · Answer

Correct. Now what's the probability of getting a heart?

anonymous · Answer

That one, I don't know because I don't know how many there are in a deck

agent0smith · Answer

Okay, well there's 13 of each 'suit' in a deck (a suit is a heart, diamond, club, or spade). Now can you find the probability of getting a heart? Keep in mind that the king was put back into the deck.

The last step is just to multiply the probabilities.

13/52
1/4

agent0smith · Answer

Correct. Now 

P(king then heart) = P(king)*P(heart)

1/13*1/4
