Two cards are drawn without replacement from a standard deck of 52 cards. What is the probability that one of the cards is a 7 and the other is a 3, and are these events independent?

 4/663; no, they are dependent events

1/16 ; yes, they are independent events

8/663 ; no, they are dependent events

 1/169; yes, they are independent events

 

I know it's not C, I'm not sure how to even start. I'm saying all of this which I didn't think was needed, I thought it was implied that I'm asking for help and not just answers for Melody. Sorry if I offended you in some way.

We could draw the 3 first and then the 7.....or we could draw the 7 first and then the 3....so...

 

P(drawing the first card) =  4/52  .....P(drawing the second card)  = 4/51

 

And we can do this in 2 ways  "7" first and then "3"  or vice-versa

 

2 (4/52) (4/51)   = 2(1/13)(4/51)  =  8/663

 

These are definitely dependent events

Thank you, that's what I got last time but it says it was wrong.
