Question

What is the probability that when two cards are drawn from a deck of cards without replacement that both of them will be 8’s?

Answer 1

Answer:

3/676

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 4 cards of number 8 in a deck of 52 cards

let p(a) be the probability of getting a 8 number card in the first draw

∴ p(a)=4/52=1/13

let p(b) be the probability of getting a 8 number card in the second draw

∴p(b)=3/52( as one card is already taken)

thus the probability of getting both cards 8 is 1/13*3/52
