Astandard deck of 52 cards has four queens. two cards are randomly drawn in succession, without replacement, from a standard deck. what is the probability that the first card is a queen? what is the probability that the second card is a queen?

There are a total of 4 queens in a standard deck of 52 cards. The probability that the 2 consecutive draws are queen is:

Probability = (4 / 52) * (3 / 51)

Probability = 12 / 2652 = 0.004

The probability is the ratio of the number of queens to the total number of cards in a deck. However, when there is no replacement, you subtract 1 from the numerator and denominator.

So, for the first queen, the probability is:
P = 4/52 = 1/13

Now, for the second queen, the available cards are only 51 since 1 was already chosen. Similarly, there are only 3 queens left. Thus, the probability of getting a second queen is:
P = (4/52)(3/51) = 1/221

I'll do the first one for you. it isn't very hard at all.on number one, you have (50 × 3), which equals 150, and (3 × 3), which equals 9. after you establish that, you add 150 and 9 together. so, (150 + 9) equals 159.this means that 53 × 3 = 159.
