There are 15 cards numbered 1 through 15. What is the probability that you choose a 5 or a 9?
P (choose a 5 or a 9) = P(choose a 5) + P(choose a 9)
Do you know how to work out what the probability that you choose a 5 is?
i got th answer
2/15...would be the probability
Awesome :)
need help with anymore
yea
Michelle draws a card from a standard deck of 52 cards. She replaces the card and draws a second card. What is the probability that she draws a heart and then a spade? [Note: There are 13 each of hearts, spades, clubs, and diamonds.]
hang on I am figuring it out
ok
So first you need to work out the probability of drawing a heart
P(heart and spade) = P(heart) x P(spade)
Okay so you have 52...13 of each kind of card...so 13 multiplied by 2 would be 26...so it would be 26/50 and then you have to simplify it...
Michael has a drawer with 8 pairs of black socks and 12 pairs of white socks. Without looking he takes a white pair of socks out of the drawer. What is the probability that the next pair he takes out is black?
13/25 for the last one...not the one you just posted
add the 2 numbers together
8+12=?
can you tell me what 8+12 is please?
okay its 20...so it would be 8/20 simplified would be 2/5...
@adelyn_helps that's not quite right. Replacement didn't occur - so only 11 white socks are in the drawer
