Select a card from the deck. Do NOT replace the card. Select another card. What is the probability that a red 3 and a face card are the 2 cards you selected
------------------------------
P(red3 and face) = P(face)*P(red3|face) = (12/52)(2/51)= 24/2652
P(face and red3) = P(red3)*P(face|red3) = (2/52)(12/51)= 25/2652
---------
P(either order) = 48/2652
