So, we had a question on our stats test review that was something along the lines of “if Jimmy draws two cards without replacement, what are the odds he draws a heart and club?” So I says: there’s a 50% chance of drawing a heart or club on the first pull and a 13/51 chance of drawing the suit that wasn’t drawn first. Apparently, I’m wrong? That’s what my professor said.
Then I made an excel spreadsheet to test the problem myself and I think I’m right.

I would say that the question that’s trying to be asked is “if Jimmy draws two cards without replacement, what are the odds he draws a heart and then a club?” But as that isn’t the question being asked, I must maintain my original position.
