Answer 2

r u still here?

Answer 3

yeah

Answer 4

I am here

Answer 5

ok The odd of picking a 3 would be 1 in 5 and after that, the odds of picking a 4 would be 1 in 4...so the combined odds would be:
1over5∗1over4=?

Answer 6

probability of drawing the 3 is 1/5

Answer 7

and the probability of drawing a 4 after that would be 1/4, since the person took out the possibility for drawing a 3, again

Answer 8

so 1/4

Answer 9

is it 1/20

Answer 10

yes

Answer 11

1/25 1/20 1/9 9/20

Answer 12

1/20 is correct

Answer 13

do you remember what I said about multiplying the independent events to get the probability of the compound event? If you did, good job
