Question

There are 5 yellow cards, 3 blue cards, and 7 red cards in a bag. A card is chosen at

random. What is the probability of choosing a yellow card and without replacing it,
choose blue card?

Answer 1

0.714

Explanation:

Argument

The total number of cards = 5 yellow. 3 blue and 7 red = 15 cards in all.

The probability of choosing a yellow card first is 5/15 = 1/3.

We are now down to 14 cards

There are 3 blue cards.

P(yellow then blue) = 1/3 * 3/14

P(yellow then blue) = 1/14 = 0.0714
