Given a standard 52 card deck with 13 cards of each suit, the probability you draw (without replacement) the Ace of Spades and then the Queen of Hearts is aproximately?
The Ace of Spades is one specific card among the 52 cards, so there is only 1 possibility that on drawing one card from the 52 card deck the Ace of Spades is drawn.
So the probability that the Ace of Sapdes is drawn = 1/52
On drawing the Ace of Spades and not replacing, 51 cards remain in the deck.
The Queen of Hearts is one specific card among the 51 cards, so there is only 1 possibility that on drawing one card from the 51 card deck the Ace of Spades is drawn.
So the probability that the Queen of Hearts is drawn = 1/51
So the probability that the Ace of Spades and then the Queen of Hearts is drawn (without replacement)
= (1/52)(1/51) 0.0003771
