Question

What is the probability of picking a prime number and then picking a prime number Simplify your answer and write it as a fraction or whole number.

Answer 1

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of cards = 3

The number of prime numbers (3, 5) = 2

The probability of picking the first prime number = 2/3

Since the first card was not put back:

The probability of picking the second prime number = 1/2

Thus, the probability of picking a prime number, and then another prime number:

`\begin{gathered} =(2)/(3)*(1)/(2) \\ =(1)/(3) \end{gathered}`
