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 four and then selecting a two.

Question

Please help!!! I have been struggling for awhile and I still don’t get it

Answer 1

Alright, how many fours are there? Four- out of 52 cards, so there's a 1/13 chance you're drawing a 4.

Now you're down to 51 cards. If you drew a 4, you still have four twos for a 4/51 chance.

(1/13)(4/51) = 0.006 or 4/663
