Ben randomly draws 2 cards without replacement, from a standard deck of playing cards, What is the probability that ben draws 2 cards of the same rank? Express your answer as a common fraction

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the total number of cards in a deck = 52

Now, let us assume the 2 same ranked cards drawn are Kings.

So, P( drawing a first king)  =

Now, the drawn card is not replaced.

So, P( drawing a second king)  =

⇒ The combined probability of drawing 2 kings simultaneously

   =

This is true for all same ranked cards.

Hence, the probability that Ben draws 2 cards of the same rank is
