Question 738805: Two cards are drawn without replacement from an ordinary deck, find the probability that the second is a face card given that the first is a face card Answer by Ed Parker(21) (Show Source):
A standard deck has 52 cards, 12 of which are face cards.
We are given that one face card has been drawn. That means
we are given that we now have a 51-card deck with only 11
face cards, so the answer is 11 chances out of 51 or .
