How many cards are there over all?
How many are odd?

solomonzelman · Answer

I mean in the deck

solomonzelman · Answer

52 cards overall.

and each (clubs, diamonds and etc..)

7 times 4 = all odd cards in a deck.

solomonzelman · Answer

So for the first card the probability to be odd is   7/13
and for second card the probability to be odd is   9/17
so  7/13  times   9/17 =   63/221
