Question

You randomly choose a tile. Without replacing the first tile, you choose a second tile. Find the probability of the compound event. Write your answer as a fraction or percent rounded to the nearest tenth. The probability of choosing a number less than 7 and then a multiple of 4 is

Answer 1

Probability = 2/21

Explanation:

Question is not complete.

To solve this question, the following assumptions are made

1. There are 7 tiles

2. The number representation of the tile is as follows;

5,6,7,8,9,20

a.

Given that there are 7 number of tiles and there are 2 picks without replacement

The probability of choosing a number less than 7 is as follows.

From the given data, number of tiles less than 7 is 5 and 6.

For the first pick, the probability is 2/7

For the second pick, the probability is 2/6

Because there are 6 tiles left after the first pick and there are 2 multiples of 4.

So, the probability is calculated as;

2/7 * 2/6

= 2/7 * ⅓

= 2/21
