Two cards are drawn from an ordinary deck of 52 cards. Find the probability of each event, showing your reasoning carefully.
a. Two aces.
P(2 aces) = 4C2/52C2
--------------------------
b. Two red cards
P(2 red) = 26C2/52C2
--------------------------
c. Two red aces.
d. Two honor cards (A, K, Q, J, 10).
P(2 honor) = 20C2/52C2
