The probability of getting ace of spade would be 1/52. But in video it is mentioned P(ace) * P(spade).

Hey Ashutosh, Thank you for your question! I understand that the example given in the video is not completely intuitive. What is meant is the following: P(ace of spades) = P(drawing an ace from the entire deck) * P(drawing a spade from all aces) = 4/52 * 1/4 = 1/52. The argument could also be turned around such that: P(ace of spades) = P(drawing a spade from the entire deck) * P(drawing an ace from all spades) = 13/52 * 1/13 = 1/52. Hope this helps and keep up the good work! Kind regards, 365 Hristina
