Two cards are drawn in succession from an ordinary deck of 52-bridge cards without replacement of the first card. Find the odds that both cards are a queen?
48/52 x 47/51 ????????
--------------------
At the start, there are 52 cards and 4 queens. --> 4/52 chance
The 2nd draw, there are 3 queens out of 51 cards --> 3/51
4/52 x 3/51 = 1/13 x 1/17
= 1/221
