Question 1154707: In drawing of two cards in a standard deck one at a
time without replacement, what is the probability
that you will not get an king on the second draw if it
is given that you did not draw king on the first draw?
Since you are given that you did not draw a king on the first draw,
then you are given that you have a deck of 51 which contains all
4 kings and 51-4-47 non-kings. So the probability that you will get a
non-king on your second draw is 47 ways out of 51, or a probability of
47/51, approximately 92% of the time.
Answer: 47/51.
