Answer 1

A box contains five cards lettered A,A,B,C,D. If one card is selected at random from the box and NOT replaced, what is the probability that Jill will draw an A and then a C?​

step 1

Find the probability that Jill draw an A

P=2/5

step 2

Find the probability that jill draw a C

P=1/4

therefore

the probability that Jill will draw an A and then a C is

P=(2/5)(1/4)

P=2/20

P=1/10 or 10%
