Re: you are right
[ QUOTE ]
You are absolutely right. Once you have the A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], for the next game it's exactly 1 in 52. Only if you want to know the probability of getting it two times in a row, without knowing what will happen the first time, than you have to calculate 52 x 52 = 2704. All speculations about so-called "emperical probabilities" are nothing but wishful thinking, otherwise all casinos would have already gone bancrupt! [/ QUOTE ] Whoops, you are right. I added them instead of multiplying (52+52=104 whereas 52x52=2704) Thus 1/2704=.0003, which means you'd have to take a card from the deck and reshuffle after each time 3 million times before you'd pull out one twice in a row.
