With a regular deck of 52 cards, how would you find the probability of getting the Ace of Spaces if you took turns until someone got it? This is without reshuffling.
If it was a 1/52 chance each time, I would be able to do it like
(1/52) * (inf. sum ((51/52)^2)^n)
But this would have a limit of 52 trials, and I never learned how to do that. Also, the probability of getting it would change for every card drawn. I also know that it would be different depending on who draws the first card.
Could I get any help?
Thanks
