9 answers

The probability of getting tails on a coin flip is 1/2 or 0.5.

The probability of getting tails on two consecutive coin flips is (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/4 or 0.25.

Therefore, the probability of getting tails and then getting tails is 1/4 or 0.25.
You pick a card at random. Without putting the first card back, you pick a second card at random.

Numbers on cards: 3-6

What is the probability of picking an odd number and then picking an even number? Write your answer as a fraction or whole number
There are a total of 4 numbers: 3, 4, 5, and 6.

The probability of picking an odd number on the first card is 2/4 or 1/2 (since there are 2 odd numbers out of 4 total numbers).

After picking an odd number, there are 3 numbers left in the deck, of which 2 are even. Therefore, the probability of picking an even number on the second card given that the first card was odd is 2/3.

The probability of picking an odd number and then picking an even number is the product of the two probabilities: (1/2) * (2/3) = 2/6.

Simplifying the fraction, the probability is 1/3.

Therefore, the probability of picking an odd number and then picking an even number is 1/3.
You spin the spinner twice.

Numbers on spinner: 3 4 5

What is the probability of landing on a 4 and then landing on an even number? Write your answer as a fraction or whole number.
There are a total of 3 numbers on the spinner: 3, 4, and 5.

The probability of landing on a 4 on the first spin is 1/3.

After landing on a 4, there are still 3 numbers on the spinner, but only one of them is even: the number 4.

Therefore, the probability of landing on an even number on the second spin given that the first spin landed on a 4 is 1/3.

The probability of landing on a 4 and then landing on an even number is the product of the two probabilities: (1/3) * (1/3) = 1/9.

Therefore, the probability of landing on a 4 and then landing on an even number is 1/9.
You pick a card at random. Without putting the first card back, you pick a second card at random.

Numbers on cards: 1-8

What is the probability of picking a 7 and then picking an even number? Write your answer as a fraction or whole number.
There are a total of 8 numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8.

The probability of picking a 7 on the first card is 1/8.

After picking a 7, there are 7 numbers left in the deck. There are 4 even numbers among the remaining 7: 2, 4, 6, and 8.

Therefore, the probability of picking an even number on the second card given that the first card was a 7 is 4/7.

The probability of picking a 7 and then picking an even number is the product of the two probabilities: (1/8) * (4/7) = 4/56 = 1/14.

Therefore, the probability of picking a 7 and then picking an even number is 1/14.
You pick a card at random, put it back, and then pick another card at random.

Number on cards: 1-5

What is the probability of picking a number greater than 4 and then picking a number less than 2? Write your answer as a percentage.
There are a total of 5 numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

The probability of picking a number greater than 4 on the first card is 1/5, because there is only one number greater than 4 in the set (which is 5).

The probability of picking a number less than 2 on the second card is also 1/5, because there is only one number less than 2 in the set (which is 1).

The probability of picking a number greater than 4 and then picking a number less than 2 is the product of the two probabilities: (1/5) * (1/5) = 1/25.

Converting 1/25 to a percentage:

1/25 = 0.04, which is equivalent to 4%.

Therefore, the probability of picking a number greater than 4 and then picking a number less than 2 is 4%.
