Question

independent or dependent and probability.. the probability that two cards drawn from a deck are both aces

Answer 1

what is the probability that the first card is an ace?

Answer 2

1/52?

Answer 3

How many aces are in the deck? @SPHott51

Answer 4

4

Answer 5

The probability of getting the first Ace is 4/52 because there are 4 ways to get an Ace and there are 52 cards in the deck.

Answer 6

When you draw the second card to see if you can get an Ace to go with the first one Ace you got, there are now only 3 Aces left in the deck.

How many cards are in the deck when you draw for the second Ace?

Answer 8

3?

Answer 9

There are 3 Aces in the deck ready for the second draw and 51 cards in the deck.

>>independent or dependent and probability.

The events are dependent because the probability of drawing a second Ace is altered by the drawing of the first Ace.

P(A and A) = 4/52 * 3/51 = ?

Answer 10

Dependent

P(A and A) = 4/52 * 3/51 = ?

4/52 times 3/51 is the probability.

Do that calculation and you'll be finished with this.
