Question

Two cards have been drawn from a standard deck of 52 cards without replacing the first one back. Find the probability of getting the first card as a jack and the second card as another jack.

a) 1/52.
b) 3/52.
c) 2/51.
d) 4/51.

Answer 1

The probability of getting the first card as a jack and the second card as another jack without replacement is 4/51.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability of getting the first card as a jack and the second card as another jack without replacement, we need to determine the number of favorable outcomes and the number of possible outcomes. There are 4 jacks in a standard deck of 52 cards.

Since we are drawing without replacement, the number of favorable outcomes is 4 (one jack is already chosen) and the number of possible outcomes is 51 (one card is already chosen from the deck).

Therefore, the probability is 4/51.
