Question

There are 3 cards lettered A, B, and C and a 6 sided die. If you draw a card and then rolled the die, what is the P(A3)?

Enter your answer as a reduced fraction (EX: 1/2)

Answer 1

1/18.

Explanation:

P(A) = 1/3 (as there are 3 cards with one marked A).

P(3 on the die) = 1/6 (as there are 6 sides on a die).

P(A then 3) = 1/3 * 1/6 = 1/18.

Note: the probabilities are multiplied because the 2 events are independent.
