Answer:

1/5525

Explanation:

Required outcome = Number of kings in a deck = 4

Assume card is drawn without replacement :

Number of cards In a deck = total possible outcomes = 52

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

P(first draw is a king) = 4 /52 = 1/13

P(secind draw is a king) = 3 /51

P(third draw is a king) = 2 /50

P(first three cards is a king) :

1 /13 * 3/51 * 2/50 = 6/33150 = 1/5525
