Two cards are drawn from a deck of 52 playing cards. The first card is NOT replaced into the deck before the 2nd card is drawn. What is the probability of drawing a king and than another king?

Answer 1

4 kings in a 52 card deck

P(K1) = 4/52 on first draw

P(K2) = (4-1)/(52-1) = 3/51 on the 2nd draw

P(two kings) = (4/52)(3/51) = 12/2652 = about 0.005 = 0.5% chance of drawing 2 kings

slightly less than 1/2%
