Question 354796: recall that a short deck has 16 cards that include aces, 2s, 3s, 4s. three cards are drawn, what is the probability the third is an ace? Answer by Edwin McCravy(20086) (Show Source):
There are 4 aces and 16 cards
The third card is no more likely or less likely to be an ace than the 1st or
2nd card, so the probability is 4/16 or 1/4 whether you draw the cards with
replacement or without replacement.
