Answer:

0.0302

Step-by-step explanation:

A standard deck has 52 cards in total, and 20 are even cards because each suit has a card for 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10. Additionally, there are 4 queens, so the probability that the first car is an even and the second car is a queen is


P=(20)/(52)*(4)/(51)

Because for the first card you have 20 possible options from the 52 and from the second card you have 4 options from the 51 cards remaining.


P=(20*4)/(52*51)=(80)/(2652)=0.0302

So, the answer is 0.0302
