A basket contains 6 pieces of paper numbered from 1 to 6. A hat contains the letters A, B, and C. If a blindfolded person picks a number and a letter, what is the probability that the number is even and the letter is A?

1 answer

p even = 3/6 = 1/2

p A = 1/3

they are independent so
1/2 * 1/3 = 1/6
