There are 4 queens, so on the 1st draw
the probability of getting one is
4%2F52
Now there are 51 cards in the deck,
and if you got a queen, there are 3 queens left
The probability of getting one is
3%2F51
When you want the probability of getting A and B
you multiply, so
%284%2F52%29%2A%283%2F51%29+=+1%2F221
The probability of drawing 2 queens in a row is 1/221
