When randomly choosing two cards from a standard deck of cards without replacement, what is the probability of choosing a number card and then an ace? (remember: standard deck has 52 cards, with 4 aces and 12 face cards) question 6 options: 12/221 3/169 4/221 9/169

The correct answer is 12/221.

To find this, we need to find the chance of each event happening and then multiply the two fractions together.

The chance of drawing a number card is 36/52.

The chance of drawing an ace (after drawing a number card) would be 4/51.

36/52 x 4/51 = 12/221
