A standard track of 52 cards contains four suits each suit has 13 cards ace, 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, jack, queen, king two cards are randomly
selected from a standard deck, what is the probability that both cards are hearts?
There are a total of 13 hearts in a standard deck of 52 cards, so the probability of selecting a heart on the first draw is 13/52. Once a heart has been selected, there are now only 12 hearts left in the deck out of 51 total cards. Therefore, the probability of selecting another heart on the second draw is 12/51.
To find the overall probability of both cards being hearts, we multiply the probabilities of each individual event:
(13/52) * (12/51) = 0.0588
Therefore, the probability of selecting two hearts from a standard deck of 52 cards is approximately 5.88%.
