First, we have to find the probability of drawing a heart. So we know that in a 52 card deck, there are 13 hearts, so our probability of drawing a heart on the first try is 13/52. So now, we are left with 51 cards after drawing a heart, so we would have 12/51 cards be hearts, while the rest (39/51) are non-hearts. So P(H N Non-H)= P(H)*P(Non-H|H)= 13/52*39/51= 507/2652 = 13/68. I hope this helped.

I’m confused Because the likelihood of getting a card not a heart is greater than a heart. Initially the heart probability was 0.25 and this equations gives the probability of 0.191 which is less. But just 39/51= 0.76 chance which seems more likely?10/31/20

Yes I do now. Thank you. I was coming up with both as I stated and wasn't sure which was the correct process. Your clarification was great! Thank you soo much!10/31/20

So it would NOT just be 39 (cards that are not hearts) / 51 (cards left on deck) 39/5210/31/20
