Hii!! I have a probability problem i´m not sure my procedure is right.   1)You have a deck of 52 cards, which any of the 52! permutations are equally likely. Calculate the probability that the ace of hearts is the first ace to appear.   I have the idea of multiplying event A = choose ace (4/52) and event B = choose an ace of heart (1/4).   The final result will be 1/52, that's right?, if they request that the first ace to appear is the ace of hearts?
