There are 4 cards with a picture of a rose and 3 cards with a picture of a daisy. Fiji keeps all the cards face down on the table with the pictures hidden and mixes them up. She then turns over one card and finds the picture of a rose on it. She removes this card from the table and turns over another card without looking. What is the probability that the card that Fiji turns over has a rose on it?

The correct answer is 3 over 6

Answer:

  • Number of Rose cards = 4
  • Number of Daisy cards = 3
  • Total number of cards = 4 + 3 = 7

If Fiji turns over a rose card and removes it, then:

  • Number of Rose cards = 4 - 1 = 3
  • Number of Daisy cards = 3
  • Total number of cards = 3 + 3 = 6


\mathsf{Probability \ of \ an \ event \ occurring = (Number \ of \ ways \ it \ can \ occur)/(Total \ number \ of \ outcomes)}


\implies \sf Probability \ of \ picking \ a \ rose \ card= (number \ of \ rose \ cards)/(total \ number \ of \ flower \ cards)


\implies \sf Probability \ of \ picking \ a \ rose \ card= (3)/(6)
