There's 4 6's and 4 3's
What's my next step in solving this problem?

yanasidlinskiy · Answer

Would I divide 6/52*3/52?

jadzia · Answer

I think the problem is composed of mutually exclusive events, so if I were you I would add individual probabilities. Not 100% sure

a:   8/52
b:  12/52 
c:   13+3=16,  16/52

yanasidlinskiy · Answer

Can you explain that?

jadzia · Answer

Probability of getting a six: 4/52
Probability of getting a three: 4/52

P(6 or 3) = 4/52 + 4/52 = 8/52 or 2/13


Same thing you have to do with the rest.

Sorry, this site is being unstable and slow to respond.
Do not know if that is intended by the management or it's an act of God.
