The probability of drawing a diamond on the first draw is 13/52. Since we do not replace the first card, there are now 12 diamond cards left out of 51 cards. Therefore, the probability of drawing another diamond on the second draw is 12/51.
To find the probability of both events happening, we multiply:
(13/52) x (12/51) = 0.0588
This can be expressed as a percentage by multiplying by 100:
0.0588 x 100 = 5.88%
Therefore, the probability of drawing two diamond cards is 5.88%, rounded to the nearest hundredth.
A standard deck of 52 cards contains four suits: hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades. Each suit has 13 cards: ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, jack, queen, and king. Two cards are randomly drawn without replacement. Calculate the probability of drawing two diamond cards. Express your answer in percent form rounding to the nearest hundredth.(1 point)
