Two cards are selected at random without replacement from a well-shuffled deck of 52 playing cards. Find the probability of the given event. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Two cards of the same suit are drawn.

Solution

Probability of first draw - 1. Since any suit is fine.

Then there are 51 cards left with 12 from the suit. So the probability of the second draw will be (12/51)

Probability of drawing two of the same suit = (1)(12/51) = 12/51
