Lesson 2: Multiplication rule for probabilities

# Interpret probabilities of compound events

## Problem

A standard deck of $52$ cards has $13$ clubs, $13$ diamonds, $13$ hearts, and $13$ spades.
Suppose that Anya is going to draw $2$ cards without replacement. Here are some events and their meanings:
EventMeaning
${H}_{1}$The first card is a heart.
${H}_{2}$The second card is a heart.
${H}_{1}^{C}$The first card is not a heart.
${H}_{2}^{C}$The second card is not a heart.
Consider this probability:
