2. Assume that 2 cards are drawn in succession and without replacement from an ordinary deck of 52 cards. Find the probability that a. 2 spades are drawn P(choosing 2 spades) = C(13,2) / C(52,2) = 78 / 1326 = 1/17 b. 1 spade and 1 king other than the king of spades (not necessarily in that order) are drawn. C(13,1) x C(3,1) / C(52,2) = 39 / 1326 = 1/34 c. 1 heart and 1 queen other than the queen of hearts (in that order) are drawn. d. the jack of clubs and the ace of diamonds (in that order) are drawn.

Step 1
The probability that 2 spades are drawn: There are 13 spades in a deck of 52 cards. The number of ways to draw 2 spades from 13 is represented by the combination (13,2). The total number of ways to draw 2 cards from 52 is represented by the combination (52,2). So, Show more…

In a deck of playing cards, there are 52 cards in total, including 4 suits (hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades) with 13 cards each (Ace, 2-10, Jack, Queen, and King). You randomly draw two cards from the deck without replacement. What is the probability that both cards are hearts?

Out of a deck of 52 cards, 2 cards are selected without replacement. (a) How many simple events are in the sample space? (b) Probability that both cards are clubs (c) Probability that both cards are kings (d) Probability that one of the cards is the king of clubs (e) Probability that at least one of the cards is a king or a club (f) Probability that exactly one of the cards is a face card (Jack, king, queen). (g) What is the probability two selected cards were diamonds if neither of the were spades (h) What is the probability that the second card selected has a lower rank than the first card selected?

Cards are dealt, one at a time, from a standard 52 -card deck. a. If the first 2 cards are both spades, what is the probability that the next 3 cards are also spades? b. If the first 3 cards are all spades, what is the probability that the next 2 cards are also spades? c. If the first 4 cards are all spades, what is the probability that the next card is also a spade?
