Question

Two cards are randomly chosen from a standard deck of 52 playing cards without replacement. What is the probability both cards will be hearts?

Answer 1

20% would be the probability of both cards being hearts.

Answer 2

52 playing cards in a deck, 13 of them are hearts.

1st card: 13/52 = 1/4

Without replacement: 12/51

The probability both cards will be hearts:

1/4 x 12/51

= 3/51
