Question

you pick a card from a standard deck of playing cards (with no jokers), do not replace it, and then pick a second card. What is the probability of picking a black card, Queen of Hearts?

Answer 1

First card

total cards=52

total black cards=26

P=26/52

P=1/2

Second Card

total cards=52-1=51

total Queen cards=4

total Hearths cards=13

total Queen + Hearths cards=4+13-1=16

P=16/51

therefore

The probability is equal to

P=(1/2)(16/51)

P=8/51
