Question 748994: two cards are drawn from a normal deck of 52 cards and not replaced what is the probability that both cards are hearts

There are 13 hearts out of 52 cards so the probability of getting a heart on the first draw is 13/52. Since the card is not replaced, there are only 12 hearts and 51 cards left. The probability of getting the second heart is 12/51. Multiply the probabilities together and reduce.
