Find the probability of selecting two consecutive threes when two cards are drawn without replacement from a standard deck of 52 playing cards. Round your answer to four decimal places.
-----------------------------------------
Pick 2 threes: 4C2 = 6 ways
----------------------------------
Pick 2 cards without restriction: 52C2
----------------------------------------
P(2 threes) = 6/22100 = 3/11050 = 0.00027149...
