You have a 4-card deck containing a queen, a jack, a 10, and a 9. You draw a random card, then put it back and draw a second random card. Use a tree diagram to calculate the probability that you draw exactly 1 queen.

i got 0.375

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it has to be in fraction form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3/8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the different ways of getting just one queen are... Q-J,Q-10,Q-9 J-Q,10-Q,9-Q 6(0.25 X 0.25) = 0.375

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which equals 3/8

OpenStudy (ybarrap):

I agree

thank you! @Mousam

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you think you could help me with another problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll post it

OpenStudy (ybarrap):

One more confirmation of the solution. Look at the tree, there are 16 equally likely paths. Of these, there are only 6 that have exactly one Q in the path, so probability is 6/16, using diagram alone.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then you get 3/8 when reducing

OpenStudy (ybarrap):

yes
