Answer:
<u>The probability of drawing a second club, given the first card drawn was a club is 0.2353 or 23.53%</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
Probability of drawing two clubs from a standard 52 card deck = 0.0588
Probability of drawing the first club = 0.25
2. What is the probability of drawing a second club, given the first card drawn was a club?
Let's recall the formula of probability:
Probability = Number of favorable outcomes/Total number of possible outcomes
Therefore, after drawing a first club, there are only 12 club cards more in the deck and 51 cards remaining. Replacing with these values, we have:
<u>Probability of drawing a second club, given the first card drawn was a club: 12/51 = 0.2353</u>
That's why the probability of drawing two clubs from a standard 52 card deck is 0.0588 = 0.25 * 0.2353
