The probability of drawing one heart and a spade in 2 successive draws of cards from a deck of 52 playing cards
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


    P = P(first a heart, then a spade) + P(first a spade, then a heart) = 


      = %2813%2F52%29%2A%2813%2F51%29 + %2813%2F52%29%2A%2813%2F51%29 = 2%2A%28169%2F2652%29 = 13%2F102.    ANSWER
