You pick a card at random. Without putting the first card back, you pick a second card at random.
5
6
7
8
What is the probability of picking a 7 and then picking a 5?
Write your answer as a fraction or whole number.
The probability of picking a 7 is 1/4.
After picking a 7, there are now 3 cards left and only 1 card is a 5. So, the probability of picking a 5 after picking a 7 is 1/3.
Therefore, the overall probability of picking a 7 and then picking a 5 is (1/4) * (1/3) = 1/12.
So, the probability is 1/12 or approximately 0.0833.
