Answer:

1/9

Explanation:

The events 3 and 3 are independent. The first card does not affect the second card.

Find P(3). There are 3 cards, numbered 3, 4, and 5.

P(3) =

1/3

Find P(3).

P(3) =

1/3

Find the probability of picking a 3 and then picking a 3. Multiply P(3) by P(3).

P(3) x P(3) =

1/3 ×1/3 = 1/9

3/3 because you have Two numbers that are greater than three out of three numbers which will give you 2/3 and then you have four which is an even number out of three numbers which will give you 1/3 you add them together which will give you 3/3 and which will equal one whole
