Calculate Total Cards: Step 1: Calculate the total number of cards in a standard deck.There are 52 cards in a deck.
Determine Probability of 2: Step 2: Determine the probability of picking a 2 from the deck.There are 4 twos in a deck of 52 cards.Probability of first picking a 2=524=131.
Calculate Probability of 4: Step 3: Calculate the probability of picking a 4 after a 2 has been picked.After picking a 2, there are 51 cards left. There are still 4 fours in the deck.Probability of picking a 4 after a 2 = 514.
Multiply Probabilities: Step 4: Multiply the probabilities from Step 2 and Step 3 to find the overall probability.Overall probability = (131)×(514)=6634.
