Question

A player is randomly dealt a sequence of 13 cards from a standard 52-card deck. All sequences of 13 cards are equally likely. In an equivalent model, the cards are chosen and dealt one at a time. When choosing a card, the dealer is equally likely to pick any of the cards that remain in the deck.

1. What is the probability the 13th card dealt is a King? Note: Your answer should be a number. Do not enter '!' or combinations in your answer.

2. Find the probability of the event that the 13th card dealt is the first King dealt. Identify the correct expression.
