Question

Each letter of the words SEVENTH GRADE is written on a card and placed in a bag.

What is the probability of picking a vowel on the first pick, replacing the card, and then picking a consonant on a second pick?

SIMPLIFY YOUR PROBABILITIES in the form of a/b.



Event 1: P(picking a vowel) =
1/3

Event 2: P(picking a consonant) =

Compound event: P(picking a vowel, then picking a consonant) =

Answer 1

Answer:

4/12 or 2/6. Count out the vowels then count how many letters are in the word. Vowels=4 and Consonant=12. Now you simplify if you can. :)
