Answer:

3/28

Explanation:

Given in the question that,

stack of cards have numbers (1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4)

Total number of cards = 8

Number of card with 3 on them = 3

Number of card with 2 on them = 2

To find the probability that he pulls out a 3 first and then pulls out a 2, we will multiple the probability of having 3 with 2.

Probability of having 3 = 3/8

Probability of having 2 = 2/7 (without replacing)

3/8 x 2/7 = 3/28

Thus, the answer is 3/28
