Answer:

1/45

Explanation:

Here is the complete question

here are 2 yellow, 3 green, 1 orange, and 4 red cards in a stack of cards turned facedown. Once a card is selected, it is not replaced. Find each probability.

Probability calculates the likelihood of an event occurring. The likelihood of the event occurring lies between 0 and 1. It is zero if the event does not occur and 1 if the event occurs.

For example, the probability that it would rain on Friday is between o and 1. If it rains, a value of one ids attached to the event. If it doesn't a value of zero is attached to the event.

1. P(two yellow cards)

there are a total of 10 cards and 2 yellows cards. If 1 yellow card is picked, it would remain 1 yellow card and 9 cards

P(two yellow cards) = 2/10 x 1/9 = 1/45
