Two cards are drawn without replacement from a pack of 52 cards. Find the probability that
both are kings
Total number of all favorable cases is n(S) = 52
Let A be the event that first card drawn is a king. There are four kings in the pack. Hence, the probability of the first card is a king is
![]()
Let B be the event that second card is also king without replacement. Then there are 3 kings left in the pack as the cards are not replaced. Therefore, the probability of the second card is also king is
![]()
Then the probability of getting two kings without replacement is
![]()
(as there are 4 kings out of 52 cards in first draw, and 3 kings out of 51 cards in the second draw as the cards are not replaced)
![]()
The probability that both of them are kings is ![]()
