Q. You pick a card at random. Without putting the first card back, you pick a second card at random. 3456789 What is the probability of picking a 5 and then picking an even number? Write your answer as a fraction or whole number.
Determine Probability of 5: First, we need to determine the probability of picking a 5 from the sequence.There are 7 cards in total, and only one of them is a 5.So, the probability of picking a 5 is 1 out of 7.Calculation: P(picking a 5)=71
Probability of Even Number After 5: Next, we need to determine the probability of picking an even number after having picked a 5. After picking a 5, there are 6 cards left. Out of these 6 cards, there are 3 even numbers (4, 6, 8). So, the probability of picking an even number after a 5 is 3 out of 6. Calculation: 51
Multiply Probabilities: Now, we need to multiply the two probabilities together to find the overall probability of both events happening in sequence.Calculation: P(picking a 5 and then an even number)=P(picking a 5)×P(picking an even number after a 5)=71×63
Final Probability Calculation: Finally, we perform the multiplication to get the final probability.Calculation: (71)×(63)=423This fraction can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 3.Calculation: 423=141
