Answer 1

4/663

Step-by-step explanation:

In a standard deck of cards:

• There are 52 cards

,

• There are 4 kings and 4 queens.

The probability that the first card is a king is:

`=(4)/(52)`

Without replacement, the probability that the second is a queen:

`=(4)/(51)`

Therefore, the probability that the first card is a king and then without replacement the second is a queen is:

`\begin{gathered} =(4)/(52)*(4)/(51) \\ =(4)/(663) \end{gathered}`
