Q:

You are dealt two cards successively without replacement from a standard deck of 52 playing cards. find the probability that the first card is a two and the second card is a ten. round your answer to three decimal places

Accepted Solution

A:
we have four two cards in 52 cards and four ten cards in the same playing cards 
to get our first four cards we choose one from the whole set of 52 cards
but to get the next card with ten we choose them out of 51 because we took the first card with value two and we have not replaced it
this gives us
4/52*4/51=0.006
