Question

Draw 2 cards from a standard deck of 52 cards. What is the probability that the first card is a queen and the second card is a king?

Answer 1

4/663

Explanation:

There are four queens. The probability that the first card is a queen is 4/52.

There are four kings. There are 51 cards left after the first card has been drawn, so the probability that the second card is a king is 4/51.

Therefore, the probability that the first card is a queen AND the second card is a king is:

P = 4/52 × 4/51

P = 4/663
