He probability of choosing a vowel (a, e, i, o, or u) from a deck of cards containing the 26 letters of the alphabet is shown below. what is the probability of choosing the letters a and e one after the other without replacement?

The probability is 1/650.

There is 1 a out of 26 letters; P (a) = 1/26

There is 1 e out of 26 letters; however, since it comes after drawing the a and is done without replacement, it is out of 25: 1/25

Together, their probabilities are 1/26 (1/25) = 1/650
