Two cards are drawn from a deck of 52 cards. If both cards are spades, how many different hands are possible?

(Note: A hand of cards is the collection of cards a player is holding, a standard deck of cards contains 13 distinct spades, and the order of the cards does not matter.)

Answer 1

(Assuming without replacement)
There are 13 different possible hands of the first card being a spade and are 12 different possible hands of the second card being a spade.

Total number of different possible hands = 13 x 12 = 156 hands.
