Question

you pick a card at random, put it back and then pick another card up.
the cards are: 2,3,4
what is the probability of picking a 3 and then picking a number greater then 3

Answer 1

Answer:

1/6 chance.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, there is a 1/3 chance of picking a 3 out of 3 cards. After you pick the three, there is only a 2 and a 4 in the bag left, so its a 1/2 chance of picking a 4, the only one greater than three. Multiply 1/3 by 1/2 and you get 1/6.
