Drawing two cards out of a deck without replacement means that one card will be subtracted from the total amount of outcomes (regular Deck of cards). Therefore, to get the total number of possibilities when drawing two cards you multiply the total number of outcomes for each draw, in this case two draws and subtract the card that is not being replaced. Total number of possibilities in drawing two cards without replacement from a regular deck of cards= ( Total amount of possibilities in first draw) X ( Total amount of possibilities in second draw - one card subtracted). (There are 52 cards total in a regular deck of cards - 52 total amount of possibilities) Therefore, = 52 x 51 = There are 2,652 total possibilities when drawing two cards from a deck without replacement. An example of an element of two cards: ( 4 of Spades and Ace of Diamonds) I want you to paraphase it and improve it if possible
