Answer:

The probability is 0.000000207176

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the probability that if 6 cards are selected from a deck of cards, we will be having 4 kings and 2 queens.

Before we answer, we should understand that in a deck of cards, there are 4 queens and 4 kings. The probability of selecting a king is the same as the probability of selecting a queen which is 4/52 = 1/13

Okay now we want to find the probability of the six cards being 4 kings and 2 queens. Since the probabilities are equal, we proceed to calculate at the same time.

That would be (1/13)^6 = 0.000000207176

The probability of selecting 4 kings and 2 queens is 0.000000207176
