You pick a card at random. Without putting the first card back, you pick a second card at random. 456What is the probability of picking a 5 and then picking a 6? Write your answer as a fraction or whole number.____
Q. You pick a card at random. Without putting the first card back, you pick a second card at random. 456What 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 5: Step 1: Calculate the probability of picking a 5 from a standard deck of 52 cards. There are four 5s in a deck (one for each suit). Probability of first 5=Total number of cardsNumber of 5s=524=131.
Calculate Probability of Picking 6: Step 2: Calculate the probability of picking a 6 after a 5 has been picked. Now, there are 51 cards left and still four 6s.Probability of second 6 = Number of 6s / Remaining number of cards = 514.
Multiply Probabilities for Overall Probability: Step 3: Multiply the probabilities from Step 1 and Step 2 to find the overall probability of this two-card sequence.Overall probability = (131)×(514)=6634.
