Two cards are dealt from a standard deck. What is the probability that they form a pair?

A pair consists of two cards of the same rank.

The first card can be any card:  52/52.

The second card must be one of the three that remains from that rank:  3/51.

 

The probability is:  52/52 x 3/51                       (which can be reduced)
