Question

When randomly choosing two cards from a standard deck of cards without replacement, what is the probability of choosing a queen and then a king?

a. 4/663
b. 1/169
c. 1/221
d. 3/676

Answer 1

There are 4 queens out of 52, so the first pick they have a 4/52 chance.

Then there are 4 kings out of the remaining 51, so it is a 4/51 chance.

To solve, you multiply the two chances together.

Answer 2

so A? Thank you!
