Lorraine is NOT correct
My answer is 1/221 or 1 out of 221. Why? Since there are 4 aces in a deck of card (52). it is written as 4/52 simplified to 1/13. Then find the prob. for the next one is 3/51 because you had take away 1, you have to subtract it from both the 4 aces and the deck( 52-1=51) Therefore you multiplied both of them to find the prob. because they are independent events; 1/13 x 3/51= 3/663 simplified by 3 and get 1/221
