A total of 2n cards, of which 2 are aces, are to be randomly divided among two players, with each player receiving n cards. Each player is then to declare, in sequence, whether he or she has received any aces. What is the conditional probability that the second player has no aces, given that the first player declares in the affirmative, when (a) n = 2? (b) n = 10? (c) n = 100? To what does the probability converge as n goes to infinity? Why?
