I just don't understand how to start it, I need structure , I can figure out the rest, don't know how to get into a strategy.
there are 4 kings in 52 cards, so the chance of picking a king on the 1st draw is 4/52 = 1/13
Now there are only 51 cards, with 3 kings left. SO, the chance of picking a king on the 2nd draw is 3/51 = 1/17
So, the chance of picking two kings in a row is 1/13 * 1/17 = 1/221
No idea what a "deck of six standard cards" is.
If I have misunderstood the question, apply the logic above to the real problem.
