if 2 cards are drawn from 52-cards deck without replacement, how many different ways is it possible to obtain a king on the first draw and a king on the second?
you can get possible 4 kings on first draw, 3 kings on second.
12 ways.
bobpursley-
how did you get the 4 and the three from this question
There are 4 kings in the deck. After drawing the first king, there are only 3 remaining to draw.
To determine the number of different ways to obtain a king on the first draw and a king on the second, we can break it down into two steps:
Step 1: Finding the number of ways to select a king on the first draw.
In a standard 52-card deck, there are 4 kings. When drawing a card without replacement, after selecting a king on the first draw, only 51 cards remain in the deck. Therefore, the number of ways to select a king on the first draw is 4.
Step 2: Finding the number of ways to select a king on the second draw.
After selecting a king on the first draw, there are 3 remaining kings in the deck, and the total number of cards is reduced to 51. Thus, the number of ways to select a king on the second draw is 3.
To find the total number of possible combinations, we multiply the number of ways from step 1 (4) by the number of ways from step 2 (3):
Total number of combinations = 4 x 3 = 12
Therefore, there are 12 different ways to obtain a king on the first draw and a king on the second draw from a 52-card deck without replacement.
