A standard deck has 52 cards consisting of 26 black and 26 red cards. Three cards are dealt from a shuffled deck without replacement. Let A=first card red and B=second card red. Are A and B independent? Explain why or why not.

They aren't independent since the probability uses all the cards in the deck

So at the first deal we have the chance of 26/52 of getting a red card, at the second deal we have the chance of a 25/51 of getting another red card, so they aren't independent
