&quot;The dependent version of the problem would be where we cards are discarded after being drawn. So on the first draw, the deck has 52 cards and 4 aces, and thus there’s a 1&#x2F;13 chance of drawing an ace. On the second draw there are 51 cards in the deck, so the second draw has a chance of 4&#x2F;47 of being an ace.&quot;<p>Shouldn&#x27;t that be a 4&#x2F;51 chance?
