Two cards are drawn from an ordinary deck of 52 cards. The probability that both cards are aces is?
There are 4 aces in a 52-card deck. Suppose without replacement, the probability is
P(2 aces)= (4/52) * (3/51) = (1/13) * (1/17) = 1/221
***Note:
4/52 is the probability of first draw.
3/51 is the probability of second draw (Without replacement)
