Calculate Total Cards: Step 1: Calculate the total number of cards in a standard deck.There are 52 cards in a deck.
Probability of Picking 6: Step 2: Determine the probability of picking a 6 first.There are 4 sixes in a deck of 52 cards.Probability of first card being a 6 = 524.
Probability of Picking 5: Step 3: Calculate the probability of picking a 5 next, without replacing the first card.After picking a 6, there are 51 cards left and still 4 fives.Probability of second card being a 5=514.
Combined Probability Calculation: Step 4: Find the combined probability of both events happening in sequence.Multiply the probabilities from Step 2 and Step 3.Combined probability = (524)×(514)=265216.
Simplify Fraction: Step 5: Simplify the fraction obtained in Step 4. 265216 simplifies to 1661.
