Q. You pick a card at random, put it back, and then pick another card at random.3456What is the probability of picking a 5 and then picking a 6?Write your answer as a fraction or whole number.____
Calculate Probability of Picking a 5: Determine the probability of picking a 5 from a standard deck of 52 cards. Since there are 4 fives in a deck, the probability is 4 out of 52.
Calculate Probability of Picking a 6: Since the card is replaced, the deck remains the same. Now, calculate the probability of picking a 6. There are also 4 sixes in the deck, so the probability remains the same as picking a 5.
Multiply Probabilities for Both Events: Multiply the probabilities from Step 1 and Step 2 to find the probability of both events happening in sequence.
