I pick 2 cards from a deck. What's the probability that the second card is a spade if the first card is a queen?

OpenStudy (adamaero):

52 cards in a deck

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (adamaero):

I know, I'm just giving you numbers to put in an equation. What we need to know is if that queen was a queen of spades or something else.

OpenStudy (adamaero):

Anyway, the other number you'll need is the total number of spades left in the deck 13 ~right?

OpenStudy (adamaero):

Assuming it was not a queen of spades: 51-1 = total number 13 cards left, out of the total http://www.near-death.com/images/graphics/probabilities/08_probability_formula.jpg http://www.near-death.com/images/graphics/probabilities/07_probability_theory.jpg
