The probability of drawing a spade in a standard 52 card deck is 13 in 52, or 1 in 4. The probability of drawing a second spade, assuming the first spade was not replaced back into the deck, is 12 in 51. The probability, then, of drawing two spades is the product of those two probabilities, or 12 in 204, or 1 in 17.

The answer depends on how many cards you are dealt!
The answer will depend on:whether the cards are drawn at random andwhether or not the first card is replaced before drawing the second.It also depends on how many times the experiment - of drawing two cards - is repeated. If repeated a sufficient number of times the probability will be so close to 1 as to make no difference from a certainty.
The probability of drawing a red two from a standard deck of 52 cards is 2 in 52, or about 0.03846.
1/52, or One over Fifty-Two. The odds are so because there are fifty-two cards in a deck, and there is only one Queen of Spades. The chances of you picking a Queen of Spades is One in Fifty-Two tries. If you are using jokers, 1/54, because there are 2 extra.
1/52 or one out of fifty-two
