Draw 2 cards from a standard deck of 52 cards. what is the probability that the first card is a queen and the second card is a king?

4/663

Step-by-step explanation:

There are four queens.  The probability that the first card is a queen is 4/52.

There are four kings.  There are 51 cards left after the first card has been drawn, so the probability that the second card is a king is 4/51.

Therefore, the probability that the first card is a queen AND the second card is a king is:

P = 4/52 × 4/51

P = 4/663

3. parallelogram

step-by-step explanation:

we turn each of our sides into direction vectors

ab=b-a=(3 - 7, 1 - 0) = (-4, 1)

bc=c-b=(1,6)

cd=d-c=(4,-1)

da=a-d=(-1,-6)

we see how the opposite sides have negated direction vectors; this is characteristic of a parallelogram.   we have congruent sides ab=cd and bc=da with unequal lengths because 1^2+6^2 is different from (-4)^2+1^2.   so it's not a square or a rhombus.  

we check the dot product of direction vectors of adjacent sides.   we have

ab dot bc = -4(1) + 1(6) = 2

that's not zero so the sides are not perpendicular.   we've ruled out rectangle.

the direction vectors indicate two pairs of congruent parallel sides, so we choose parallelogram over trapezoid.
