Question 1102253: please help me solve this question.
suppose that 2 cards are drawn randomly without replacement from a standard deck of 52 cards. find the probability that:
A) the second card is the ace of hearts, given that the first card, was the ace of spades.
B) the second card is a 7, given that the first card was a 6.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
first draw is the ace of spades.
there are now 51 cards and 1 ace of hearts in the deck.
the probability that the second card drawn is the ace of hearts is 1/51.

first draw is a number 6.
there are now 51 cards and 4 number 7 cards in the deck.
the probability that the second card drawn is a 7 is 4/51.
