Three cards are drawn without replacement from an ordinary deck of 52 playing cards. What is the probability that the second and third cards are kings if the first card was not a king?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! As the order matters, we need to use permutations to find the number of possibilities that exist.
There are 4 kings and 48 "non-kings" so the number of permutations that satisfy is
48*4*3
The total number of permutations is
52*51*50
The probability is , or 24/3315.
