Question 1026458: From a well shuffle pack of 52 cards two cards are drawn in succession without replacement. Find the probability that the first card is an ace and the second a jack Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are 4 aces and 4 jacks in a deck of 52
:
Pr(first card drawn is an ace) = 4 /52
Pr(second card drawn is a jack) = 4 / 51
:
Pr( first card is ace and second card is jack) = (4/52)*(4/51) = 0.006033183 which is approx 0.01
