Answer:

Total Probability = 1 / 221

Explanation:

Total number of cards = 52

Total number of kings = 4

Probability (first card is a king) = 4 / 52

Probability (Second card is a king) without replacement = [4-1] / [52-1]

Probability (Second card is a king) without replacement = 3 / 51

Total Probability = [Probability (first card is a king)][Probability (Second card is a king) without replacement]

Total Probability = [4/52][3/51]

Total Probability = 12 / 2652

Total Probability = 1 / 221
