Q. You pick a card at random. Without putting the first card back, you pick a second card at random.\newline12341234 \newlineWhat is the probability of picking a 22 and then picking a 44? \newlineWrite your answer as a fraction or whole number. \newline____\_\_\_\_
  1. Calculate Total Cards: Step 11: Calculate the total number of cards in a standard deck.\newlineThere are 5252 cards in a deck.
  2. Determine Probability of 22: Step 22: Determine the probability of picking a 22 from the deck.\newlineThere are 44 twos in a deck of 5252 cards.\newlineProbability of first picking a 2=452=1132 = \frac{4}{52} = \frac{1}{13}.
  3. Calculate Probability of 44: Step 33: Calculate the probability of picking a 44 after a 22 has been picked.\newlineAfter picking a 22, there are 5151 cards left. There are still 44 fours in the deck.\newlineProbability of picking a 44 after a 22 = 451\frac{4}{51}.
  4. Multiply Probabilities: Step 44: Multiply the probabilities from Step 22 and Step 33 to find the overall probability.\newlineOverall probability = (113)×(451)=4663(\frac{1}{13}) \times (\frac{4}{51}) = \frac{4}{663}.
