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 6 and then picking a 5? Write your answer as a fraction or whole number.___
Calculate total cards: Step 1: Calculate the total number of cards in a standard deck.There are 52 cards in a deck.
Determine 6 probability: Step 2: Determine the probability of picking a 6 first.There are 4 sixes in a deck of 52 cards.Probability of first card being a 6=524.
Calculate 5 probability: Step 3: Calculate the probability of picking a 5 next, without replacing the first card.After picking a 6, there are 51 cards left, including 4 fives.Probability of second card being a 5=514.
Multiply probabilities: Step 4: Multiply the probabilities of the two independent events.Probability of picking a 6 and then a 5 = (4/52)×(4/51).
Simplify expression: Step 5: Simplify the expression.(524)×(514)=265216=6634.
