Consider drawing two cards, without replacement, from a standard deck of 52 cards. That means we are drawing the first card, leaving it out, and then drawing the second card. what is the probability that both cards selected for black?

Given:

Two cards are drawn from a standard deck of 52 cards without replacement.

To find:

The probability that both cards selected for black.

Solution:

We know that,

Total number of cards = 52

Total number of red cards = 26

Total number of black cards = 26

Probability of selecting first black card is

Number of remaining total cards = 52-1 = 51

Number of remaining black cards = 26-1 = 25

Probability of selecting second black card is

So, the probability that both cards selected for black is

Therefore, the required probability is .

x is greater than 5

step-by-step explanation:

2x+7 is greater than 17

    -7                           -7

2x is greater than 10

divide by 2 each side

x is greater than 5
