What is the probability of drawing two aces in a row from the deck of cards?
There are four aces in a deck of 52 cards. The probability of drawing the first ace is therefore 4 out of 52: 4 / 52 = 0.0769230769 One a single ace has been drawn, the probability of drawing a second ace is 3 (remaining aces) out of 51 (remaining cards): 3 / 51 = 0.0588235294 The probability of drawing two aces in a row is therefore: (4/52)*(3/51) = 0.00452488688 or approximately 0.45% or 220 to 1.
