Answer:

2/13

Explanation:

So firstly, know that there are 13 cards in the deck (3 + 6 + 4).

Therefore, the probability of drawing a green is 4/13.

After you draw the green card, there will be 12 cards left. Therefore, the probability of drawing a purple card next is 6/12.

To find compound probability, multiply the probabilities of the two separate events happening together:

4/13 * 6/12

= 2/13

Hope this helps! Please contact me if you have any questions :)
