Question

Please help!
You pick a card at random. Without putting the first card back, you pick a second card at random.

What is the probability of picking a 3 and then picking a 3?

Simplify your answer and write it as a fraction or whole number.

Answer 1

Answer:

There is a 1/8 chance.

If there are 4 cards in the deck, and one three card, it makes it a 1/4 chance of picking the card the first time.

The probability stays the second time you pull out a card.

So, you would do the equation 1/4 * 1/4, which is 1/8. That is the answer.
