Question 577851: find the probablility of getting two face cards (king, queen, or Jack) when 2 cards are drawen from the deck without replacement.
My answer is
1 card drawen is a face card
(4*3)/52= 12/52=3/13
2nd card drawn is
(12-1)/(52-1)= 11/51
Drawing 2 face cards
(3/13)(11/51)=0.0497 am I right or have I missed something

----
There are 12 face cards in the deck.
---
# of ways to succeed: 12C2 = 66
---
# of random pairs: 52C2 = 1326
---
P(2 face cards) = 66/1326 = 0.0498
=============
You are correct.
