Question 1126962: Two cards are selected at random from a deck of card. What is the probability that the first card is an 8 and second card is a Queen if the the first card is not replaced before the second card is selected? Answer by math_helper(2461) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The probability of selecting an 8 for the 1st card is 4/52
The probability of selecting a queen for the 2nd card is 4/51 (because the 8 was NOT put back into the deck, there are only 51 cards at this point)
The probability of both of these events happening is (4/52)(4/51) = (1/13)(4/51) = or about 0.0060
