Question 1052690: You are dealt two cards successively (without replacement) from a shuffled deck of 52 playing cards. Find the probability that both cards are black Answer by jorel555(1290) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Since you are dealing cards without replacement, and black cards represent half of the deck, the probability of getting two black cards in succession is:
26/52 x 25/51=0.2450980392, or about 1/4. ☺☺☺☺
