ANSWER: A. 1/2652
The chance of drawing a 8 of hearts in a standard deck (52 cards) is simply 1/52. There is only one 8 of hearts in a deck. Without replacement of the 8 of hearts, the chance of drawing a 2 of diamonds is 1/51 (again, 51 because we did not put the 8 of hearts back in the deck, and there is only one 2 of diamonds in a deck). These 2 events are then multiplied because the questions asks for the chance of BOTH happening, not EITHER happening.
Thus: (1/52)*(1/51) = 1/2652
