What is the probability of drawing, from a 52 well-shuffled standard card deck, another king after we have drawn one card and it happened to be a king? provide your answer with 3 decimal places (for instance, write 0.082 if you have obtained the value 0.082441, or 0.083 if you have obtained 0.082689).

Final answer:

The probability of drawing another king from a standard deck after one king has been drawn is 0.059, since there are 3 kings left among the remaining 51 cards.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject in question is Mathematics, focusing on the concept of probability, which is often included in high school curricula. Given that there are 4 kings in a standard deck of cards, and one has been drawn, there are now 3 kings left in a deck of 51 cards (since the first king has not been replaced).

To calculate the probability of drawing another king, we use the formula for probability:

Probability = Number of Favorable Outcomes / Total Number of Outcomes.

In this case, the probability of drawing another king after one has been drawn is 3/51.

Let's do the math: 3/51 = 0.0588235

Rounded to three decimal places this is 0.059.
