Here is a similar problem: What is the probability of drawing two aces from a standard deck of cards, given that the first card is an ace? The cards are not returned to the deck. Answer: 3/51

Directrix (directrix):

For the second draw, P(Spade) = 12/51. There are 52 cards in the deck of which 13 are spades. One spade has been removed and not replaced, leaving 12 spades in the 51 remaining cards in the deck. @eddyeemrmarquez

Directrix (directrix):

That is what I got.
