Question

There are 4 cards with a picture of a rose and 3 cards with a picture of a daisy. Fiji keeps all the cards face down on the table with the pictures hidden and mixes them up. She then turns over one card and finds the picture of a rose on it. She removes this card from the table and turns over another card without looking. What is the probability that the card that Fiji turns over has a rose on it?

Answer 1

3 over 7

3 over 6

4 over 7

4 over 6

Answer 2

After Fiji removes one of the cards with a rose on it, there are a total of 6 cards left (3 with roses and 3 with daisies). Therefore, the probability that the card Fiji turns over next has a rose on it is 3/6, which simplifies to 1/2.

So, the probability that Fiji turns over a card with a rose on it is 1/2.

Answer 3

Apologies for the error in the initial response. Let's calculate the correct probability:

After removing one card with a rose, there are 6 cards left (3 with roses and 3 with daisies). The probability that Fiji turns over a card with a rose on it is 3/6, which simplifies to 1/2.

So, the correct probability that the card Fiji turns over has a rose on it is 1/2 (or 3/6).
