You can put this solution on YOUR website! If you select 2 cards from a deck, what is the probability of getting 2 matching cards (2kings, 2fives, and so on)?
------------
# of ways to pick a card type :13
# of ways to pick 2 of the 4 cards of that type: 4C2 = 6
# of ways to pick 2 cards from a deck of 52: 52C2 = 1326
---------------
Prob(picking 2 cards of the same type from deck of 52) = [13*6/52C2] = 0.0588
