What is the probability of drawing a king and a queen consecutively from a deck of 52 cards?

$\begingroup$

The probability of getting drawing a king and queen from a deck of 52 cards without replacement is $\frac{4}{52} \frac{4}{51}$. I'm confused why it's not twice of this. We could achieve a king and queen in 2 different ways. First drawn card is a king and second drawn card is a queen, or first drawn card is a queen and second drawn card is a king. These are disjoint events, so wouldn't the probability actually be $\frac{4}{52} \frac{4}{51} + \frac{4}{52} \frac{4}{51}$?

I saw the first result left by the comment by tpb261 in Probability in cards that $4$ people each get queen and king?.

d)1/2Probability of getting a tail in one toss = 1/2The coin is tossed twice. So 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4 is the answer.Here’s the verification of the above answer with the help of samplespace.When a coin is tossed twice, the sample space is {(H,H), (H,T), (T,H),(T,T)}.Our desired event is (T,T) whose occurrence is only once out of fourpossible outcomes and hence, our answer is 1/4.Q6A medical treatment has a success rate of .8.
