Question

A deck of cards has 3 pink, 6 purple, and 4 green cards. You pick 2 cards from the deck. Cards are not returned to the deck after they are picked

P(the first card is green and the second card is -purple)

With explanation

Answer 1

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
