Shironda rolls a number cube(six sides) and chooses a card from a standard deck of cards(52 cards).

What is the probability that Shironda rolls a 5 on the number cube and then chooses a 5 from the deck?

Respuesta :


[tex](1 \div 6) \times (4 \div 52)[/tex]
Answer= 1 in 78

Answer: [tex]\frac{1}{78}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event that Shironda rolls a 5 on the number cube andB be the event that she chooses a 5 from the deck.

Then [tex]P(A)=\frac{1}{6}[/tex]

and [tex]P(B)=\frac{4}{52}[/tex]

Since both the events are independent.

Therefore, the probability that Shironda rolls a 5 on the number cube and then chooses a 5 from the deck is given by :-

[tex]P(A\cap B)=P(A)\times P(B)\\\\\RightarrowP(A\cap B)=\frac{1}{6}\times\frac{4}{52}=\frac{1}{78}[/tex]

Hence, the probability that Shironda rolls a 5 on the number cube and then chooses a 5 from the deck = [tex]\frac{1}{78}[/tex]
