Answer:

The chances of drawing a heart are therefore 1352 (which reduces to 14 . If we draw another card without replacing the first card, what are the chances of drawing a second heart? There are now 12 hearts in the deck out of 51 cards total and so the odds are 1251 (which reduces to 417 ).

Explanation:

So we know that in a 52 card deck, there are 13 hearts, so our probability of drawing a heart on the first try is 13/52.
