Four cards are randomly selected from a pack of 52 cards. If the first two cards are kings, what is the probability that the third card is a king?
The given answer is 2/50.
I was thinking 4 cards can be selected in 52C4 ways, out of which first three kings can be selected in 4P3 ways i.e. 24 ways and last 1 card can be choose by 49 ways. Hence result should be equal to (24*49)/(52C4)
Where am I going wrong?
