Question

Maggie has 7 tiles with pictures of plants and 2 tiles with pictures of animals. Maggie keeps all the tiles on a mat with the pictures hidden and mixes them up. She then turns one tile face up and finds the picture of a plant on it. She removes this tile from the mat and turns over another tile without looking. What is the probability that the second tile that Maggie turns over has a plant on it?

Answer 3

after she removes the plant tile she is left with -
plant tiles=6
animal tiles=2
total tiles=8
probability that she picks up plant tile = no. of pant tiles /total no. of tiles
=6/8
=3/4
