Question

You pick a card at random, put it back, and then pick another card at random.

6
7
8

What is the probability of picking an 8 and then picking a 7?

Write your answer as a fraction or whole number.

Answer 1

The probability of picking an 8 on the first draw is 1/3, and the probability of picking a 7 on the second draw is also 1/3.

Therefore, the probability of picking an 8 and then picking a 7 is (1/3) x (1/3) = 1/9.

So, the probability is 1/9.
