Question

You pick one of 5 cards at random. Without putting the first card back, you pick a second card at random. Each card has a number on it; 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.

What is the probability of picking a 6 and then picking an even number?

Write your answer as a percentage.

Answer 1

P(first = 6 and second even) = (1/5) * (1/4) = 1/20 = 5%.
