Question

You pick a card at random, put it back, and then pick another card at random. 2 3 4 5 What is the probability of picking a number greater than 3 and then picking a 4? Simplify your answer and write it as a fraction or whole number.

Answer 1

3/4 or i think its 75%

Answer 2

3/4 or a 75% chance

Explanation:

Out of 4 cards ( 2 3 4 5), here are the cards greater than 3: 4, and 5. That leaves you with a 2/4 chance of drawing one of them. (2 cards, 4 in total).

Then, picking a 4 out of 4 cards is a 1/4 chance; since that is one card out of 4 total possibilities.

1/4 + 2/4 = 3/4. Or, a 75% chance.
