The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the probability that the first two cards drawn are queens and the third card drawn is a king, we can break it down into a series of steps. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Determine the total number of cards and specific cards**: - In a standard deck, there are 52 cards, which include 4 queens and 4 kings. 2. **Calculate the probability of drawing the first queen**: - The probability \( P_1 \) of drawing a queen first: \[ P_1 = \frac{\text{Number of Queens}}{\text{Total Cards}} = \frac{4}{52} = \frac{1}{13} \] 3. **Calculate the probability of drawing the second queen**: - After drawing the first queen, there are now 51 cards left, including 3 queens. - The probability \( P_2 \) of drawing a second queen: \[ P_2 = \frac{\text{Remaining Queens}}{\text{Remaining Total Cards}} = \frac{3}{51} = \frac{1}{17} \] 4. **Calculate the probability of drawing a king as the third card**: - After drawing two queens, there are now 50 cards left, including 4 kings. - The probability \( P_3 \) of drawing a king: \[ P_3 = \frac{\text{Number of Kings}}{\text{Remaining Total Cards}} = \frac{4}{50} = \frac{2}{25} \] 5. **Calculate the total probability of the sequence**: - The total probability of drawing a queen, then another queen, and then a king is the product of the individual probabilities: \[ P = P_1 \times P_2 \times P_3 = \frac{1}{13} \times \frac{1}{17} \times \frac{2}{25} \] - Calculating this gives: \[ P = \frac{1 \times 1 \times 2}{13 \times 17 \times 25} = \frac{2}{5525} \] ### Final Answer: The probability that the first two cards drawn are queens and the third card drawn is a king is: \[ \frac{2}{5525} \]
