Explanation

There are 4 kings in a deck. Probability = (4/52) * (3/51) = (1/13) * (1/17) = 1/221.

AI explanation

The total number of ways to draw 2 cards from a pack of 52 is found using the combination formula 52C2, which equals (52 multiplied by 51) divided by 2, giving 1326 possible combinations. There are 4 kings in the pack, so the number of ways to draw 2 kings using the combination formula 4C2 is (4 multiplied by 3) divided by 2, which equals 6. The probability of drawing two kings is 6 divided by 1326, which simplifies to 1/221.
