Question

Martin draws a card from a standard deck of cards, does not replace the card, and draws another card. What is the probability he draws an ace card and a queen?

Answer 1

Probability is the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the number of possible outcomes.

There are 52 cards in the deck. 4 are aces and 4 are queens.

Draw one card.

P(Ace) = 4/52

The first card is not replaced.

That leaves 51 cards.

P(Queen) = 4/51

P(Ace and Queen) = 4/52 * 4/ 51 = ? @Raylynngrace
