Q. You pick a card at random. Without putting the first card back, you pick a second card at random. \newline456456 \newlineWhat is the probability of picking a 55 and then picking a 66? \newlineWrite your answer as a fraction or whole number.\newline ____\_\_\_\_
  1. Calculate Probability of Picking 55: Step 11: Calculate the probability of picking a 55 from a standard deck of 5252 cards. There are four 55s in a deck (one for each suit). \newlineProbability of first 5=Number of 5sTotal number of cards=452=113.5 = \frac{\text{Number of 5s}}{\text{Total number of cards}} = \frac{4}{52} = \frac{1}{13}.
  2. Calculate Probability of Picking 66: Step 22: Calculate the probability of picking a 66 after a 55 has been picked. Now, there are 5151 cards left and still four 66s.\newlineProbability of second 66 = Number of 66s / Remaining number of cards = 451\frac{4}{51}.
  3. Multiply Probabilities for Overall Probability: Step 33: Multiply the probabilities from Step 11 and Step 22 to find the overall probability of this two-card sequence.\newlineOverall probability = (113)×(451)=4663(\frac{1}{13}) \times (\frac{4}{51}) = \frac{4}{663}.
