<PRE><B>Question 758937</B>
find the probability of drawing 2 spades one after the other without replacement from a well shuffled pack of 52 cards.
------
# of ways to succeed: 13C2 = (13*12)/(1*2) = 78
----------
# of possible outcomes: 52C2 = (52*51)/(1*2) = 1326
--------------
P(2 spades) = 78/1326
