Question

Helppp!!!!laura is playing a card game with her friend.she will draw two cards from those pictured.

A.list the sample space for all possible 2-card combinations Laura could make.
B.find the probability that both cards are even.

Answer 1

10

30%

Explanation:

In this case it would be the combination of 2 taken from 5.

That is, when n = 5 and r = 2

nCr = n! / r! * (n-r)!

replacing

5C2 = 5! / (2! * 3!)

5C2 = 10

Which means that the sample space is 10 possible combinations.

the probability that the card you draw is even is 3/5, since there are 3 even cards that exist and 5 is the total number of cards.

Now, so that both are for it would be the multiplication of the previous probability and 2/4 because an even card and a card in general have already been drawn:

(3/5) * (2/4) = 0.3

So the probability that both are even is 30%
