Respuesta :

Given:

There are four cards numbered as

[tex]3,\text{ }4,\text{ }5,\text{ and }6.[/tex]

Required:

We have to find the probability of picking a 6 and then picking a 3.

Explanation:

When you pick a card at random there are four possibilities.

The possibility of picking a 6 is only one.

Hence the probability of picking a 6 on the first card is

[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Since you have put back the first card so in the second card there are again four possibilities.

The possibility of picking a 3 is only one.

Hence the probability of picking a 3 on the second card is

[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Hence the probability of picking a 6 and then picking a 3 is

[tex]\frac{1}{4}\times\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{16}[/tex]

Final answer:

Hence the final answer is

[tex]\frac{1}{16}[/tex]
