Question

Pls help now You play a game that requires rolling a 6 sided die then randomly choosing a colored card from a deck containing 5 red cards,4blue cards, and 8 yellow cards find the probability that you will roll 3 on the die and choose a yellow card

Answer 1

Find the probability that you will get a 3 on a roll of a die. Since there is only one 3 in a die and there are 6 sides in a die, divide 1 by 6.

`P(3)=(1)/(3)`

Find the probability that you will get a yellow card. Divide the number of yellow cards by the total number of cards.

`\begin{gathered} P(y)=(8)/(5+4+8) \\ =(8)/(17) \end{gathered}`

Since the two events are independent, multiply the obtained probabilities.
