Q. You pick a card at random. Without putting the first card back, you pick a second card at random.\newline123123\newline What is the probability of picking a 33 and then picking a 22?\newline Write 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 33s and four 22s in the deck.
  2. Calculate Probability of 33: Calculate the probability of drawing a 33 first.\newlineThe probability of picking a 33 from the deck is 44 out of 5252, which simplifies to 113\frac{1}{13}.
  3. Calculate Probability of 22: Calculate the probability of drawing a 22 after a 33 has been drawn.\newlineAfter drawing a 33, there are 5151 cards left and still four 22s. The probability of now drawing a 22 is 44 out of 5151.
  4. Multiply Probabilities: Multiply the probabilities of the two independent events. The overall probability of both events occurring in sequence is (113)×(451)=4663(\frac{1}{13}) \times (\frac{4}{51}) = \frac{4}{663}.
