Respuesta :

Given:

4 5 6 7

Given that you picked a card at random, without replacement, you then pick a second card at random.

Let's find the probability of picking an even number and then picking an even number.

Number of possible events = 4

Number of even numbers = 4, 6, ==> 2 even numbers.

Hence, to find the probability, we have:

[tex]\begin{gathered} P=\frac{2}{4}*\frac{1}{3} \\ \\ P=\frac{2*1}{4*3} \\ \\ P=\frac{2}{12}=\frac{1}{6} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the probability of picking an even number and then picking an even number is 1/6.

ANSWER:

[tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex]
