Q. You pick a card at random. Without putting the first card back, you pick a second card at random. \newline12341234 \newlineWhat is the probability of picking a 11 and then picking a 33?\newline Write your answer as a fraction or whole number. \newline___\_\_\_
  1. Total Number of Cards: Step 11: Determine the total number of cards. There are 44 cards numbered from 11 to 44.
  2. Probability of Picking 11: Step 22: Calculate the probability of picking a 11 first. Since there is one '11' in four cards, the probability is 14\frac{1}{4}.
  3. Probability of Picking 33: Step 33: Calculate the probability of picking a 33 next, without replacing the first card. Now there are 33 cards left, and one of them is a '33'. So, the probability is 13\frac{1}{3}.
  4. Overall Probability Calculation: Step 44: Multiply the probabilities from Step 22 and Step 33 to find the overall probability of this sequence (11 then 33). 14×13=112.\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{12}.
