Q. You pick a card at random. Without putting the first card back, you pick a second card at random. \newline789789\newlineWhat is the probability of picking an 88 and then picking a 77? \newlineWrite your answer as a fraction or whole number.\newline __\_\_
  1. Identify Cards: Identify the total number of cards in a standard deck and the specific cards of interest.\newlineA standard deck has 5252 cards. There are four 88s and four 77s in a deck.
  2. Calculate 88 Probability: Calculate the probability of drawing an 88 first. The probability of picking an 88 from the deck is 44 out of 5252, which simplifies to 113\frac{1}{13}.
  3. Calculate 77 Probability: Calculate the probability of drawing a 77 after an 88 has been drawn.\newlineAfter drawing an 88, there are 5151 cards left and still four 77s. The probability is 451\frac{4}{51}.
  4. Multiply Probabilities: Multiply the probabilities of the two independent events. The probability of both events happening in sequence is (113)×(451)=4663(\frac{1}{13}) \times (\frac{4}{51}) = \frac{4}{663}.
