Question 993647: Two cards are randomly drawn from an ordinary deck of playing cards without replacement. What is the probability that the first card is a heart and the second is a diamond? Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Since this is an "and" problem, we must multiply the individual probabilities.
The first probability is 13/52 or 1/4.
The second probability is 13/51.
Multiplying them gives
1/4 x 13/51 = 13/204
