The correct Answer is:
To find the probability that both cards drawn from a pack of 52 cards are Kings, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the total number of cards and the number of favorable outcomes. - A standard deck has 52 cards. - There are 4 Kings in a deck (one for each suit: hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades). ### Step 2: Calculate the probability of drawing the first King. - The probability of drawing a King on the first draw is given by the number of Kings divided by the total number of cards: \[ P(\text{First King}) = \frac{4}{52} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the probability of drawing the second King after the first King has been drawn. - After drawing one King, there are now 51 cards left in the deck, and only 3 Kings remaining. - The probability of drawing a King on the second draw is: \[ P(\text{Second King | First King}) = \frac{3}{51} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the combined probability of both events. - Since the two draws are dependent events (the outcome of the first affects the second), we multiply the probabilities: \[ P(\text{Both Kings}) = P(\text{First King}) \times P(\text{Second King | First King}) = \frac{4}{52} \times \frac{3}{51} \] ### Step 5: Simplify the expression. - Now, we can simplify the expression: \[ P(\text{Both Kings}) = \frac{4 \times 3}{52 \times 51} = \frac{12}{2652} \] - Simplifying \(\frac{12}{2652}\) gives: \[ P(\text{Both Kings}) = \frac{1}{221} \] ### Final Answer: The probability that both cards drawn are Kings is \(\frac{1}{221}\). ---
