Question 1052846: I'm stuck on this and would really like some help!
Consider selecting one card at a time from a 52-card deck. What is the probability that the first card is an ace and the second card is also an ace? (Note: There are 4 aces in a deck of cards)
Please show all work!

With no replacement, the probability of drawing two aces in a row are 4/52 x 3/51:
4/52 x 3/51=1/13 x 1/17=1/221, or 0.0045248
With replacement, the probability is 1/13 x 1/13, which equals 1/169, or 0.0059171. ☺☺☺☺
