from a deck of 52 ordinary playing cards, 2 cards are drawn without replacement. find the probability that both are hearts
----------
# of ways to draw 2 hearts: 13C2 = 13*6 = 78
---------------
# of possible outcomes: 52C2 = 51*26 = 1326
------------------
Probability of drawing two hearts: 78/1326 = 0.059
