Out of a standard deck of 52 cards, what are the chances of drawing 2 cards, and getting a 9 and a 7 in either order?
-----------
Without replacement, meaning you don't put the 1st card back before drawing the 2nd card:
-------
There are 4 7's and 4 9's out of 52 cards.
The chance of getting either is 8/52 = 2/13
---
The 2nd draw is 4 chances out of 51.
-------
(2/13)*(4/51) = 8/663
