Question

What is the probability of drawing 2 kings from a deck of 52 cards without putting the first one back in?

Answer 1

4 kings in a deck, so odds of drawing one first time are 4/52 = 1/13.

The would leave 3 kings in a reduced deck of 51, so 3/51 = 1/17

So the final answer is 1/13 * 1/17 = 1/221 or in percentage terms, 0.04525%.

Answer 2

For the first king, the probability is 4/52. For the second king, the probability is 3/51. Now, to get the probability of drawing a king both times to get two kings, we multiply the two probabilities:

4/52 * 3/51 = 12/2652 = 1/221

So it happens 1 out of every 221 times! Hope this helps!

Answer 3

4 in 52 to draw the first king, then 3 in 51 to draw the second?

Answer 4

4/52 the first time and then 3/51 because you don't put the first one back in. then do 4*3 then 52*51. reduce if you can
