Answer:


(1)/(221)

Explanation:

We have to note that there are 4 kings in a deck of 52 cards.

This makes the probability of choosing a king the first time
(4)/(52) = (1)/(13).

We now know that we can choose another king from the deck, but it's important to note that it's not a
(1)/(13) chance. We now only have 51 cards in the deck, and 3 kings left. This means the probability of choosing a king now is
(3)/(51) = (1)/(17).

To find the probability of doing both these, we need to multiply the fractions.


(1)/(13)\cdot(1)/(17)=(1)/(221)

Hope this helped!
