Identify Cards: Identify the total number of cards in a standard deck and the specific cards of interest.A standard deck has 52 cards. There are four 8s and four 7s in a deck.
Calculate 8 Probability: Calculate the probability of drawing an 8 first. The probability of picking an 8 from the deck is 4 out of 52, which simplifies to 131.
Calculate 7 Probability: Calculate the probability of drawing a 7 after an 8 has been drawn.After drawing an 8, there are 51 cards left and still four 7s. The probability is 514.
Multiply Probabilities: Multiply the probabilities of the two independent events. The probability of both events happening in sequence is (131)×(514)=6634.
