Given

Pack of 52 deck

Find

Probability of drawing two aces without replacement

Step-by-step explanation

as we know there are four aces in the pack of 52 deck.

so probability of drawing one ace = 4/52

probability of drawing second card ace = 3/51

therefore ,

probability of drawing 2 aces =


(4)/(52)*(3)/(51)=(12)/(2652)=(6)/(1326)=(3)/(663)=(1)/(221)

Final Answer

Hence , the probability of drawing 2 aces is 1/221
