Two cards are selected from a standard deck of 52 playing cards. The first card is not replaced before the second card is selected. Find the probability of selecting a three and then selecting a eight

Answer 1

There are 4 3's and 4 8's in a deck of 52 cards.

the probability of selecting a 3 on the first draw is 4/52 = 1/13

That will leave 51 cards

the probability of selecting an 8 on the second draw is 4/51

the probability of both events occurring is 1/13 * 4/51 = 4/663
