Hi,
Two cards are drawn from a standard deck of 52 where the first card is NOT
replaced before the second card is drawn
P(2 facecards) = = = 11/13*17 = 11/221
Event A is the selection of the first card(which is kept) and
Event B is the selection of the second card.
Event A and Event B are dependent events
(1st card drawn and kept..effects the availability of cards remaining)
