Question

Two cards are drawn from a pack of 52 cards one by one without replacement; that is, the first card is not replaced before the second card is drawn. What is the probability of the second card being a king of spades if the first card is a king of club

Answer 1

The probability is 1/51

Explanation:

In a deck of cards, there are 52 cards

one king of spades and one king of club

If the first is a king of club, after drawing it, the number of cards that we will have left will be 52-1 = 51 cards

So the probability that the second is a king of spades is the number of king of spades/number of remaining cards

Mathematically that will be 1/51
