you are dealt two cards successively without replacement from a standard deck of 52. find the prob that first card is a two and the second card is a ten

Respuesta :

The probability that first card is a two and the second card is a ten is 0.006.

What is probability?

Probability is an area of mathematics that deals with the occurrence of a random event. There are four varieties of probability: classical, empirical, subjective, and axiomatic.

Probability is equivalent with possibility, therefore you might say it's the likelihood that a specific occurrence will occur.

Now, according to the question;

Let n(2) be the number of cards marked 2 ( = 4 cards).

Let n(10) be the number of cards marked 10 ( = 4 cards).

The total number of card in a pack is; n = 52.

Each card is chosen without replacement.

So the likelihood of the first being 2 and the second being 10 is:

[tex]\operato{Pr}=\frac{n(2)}{n} \times \frac{n(10)}{n-1}[/tex]

Substitute the values;

[tex]P r=\frac{4}{52} \times \frac{4}{52-1}[/tex]

Simplifying the equation;

[tex]P r=\frac{16}{2652}[/tex]

[tex]P r=0.006[/tex]

Therefore, the probability that first card is a two and the second card is a ten is 0.006.
