Assume that 2 cards are drawn in
succession and without replacement from a standard deck of 52 cards. Find the probability that the second card is the ace of hearts, given that the
first card was the ace of spades (state your answer as a fraction).

Since we know that the first card picked was the ace of spades, and the second card was picked without replacement, this problem is equivalent to asking what the probability is of drawing a specific card from a deck of 51 cards. So, the answer is 1/51.
