Answer: 1/5525

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 queen in a standard deck.

52 cards in total.

The probability of picking a queen is 4/52.

The probability of picking a queen again is 3/51.

The probability of picking another queen is 2/50

P = 4/52 x 3/51 x 2/50
P = 1/13 x 1/17 x 1/25
P = 1/5525
