What is the probability of picking a prime number and then picking a prime number Simplify your answer and write it as a fraction or whole number.

Answer:
1/3
Explanation:
The total number of cards = 3
The number of prime numbers (3, 5) = 2
The probability of picking the first prime number = 2/3
Since the first card was not put back:
The probability of picking the second prime number = 1/2
Thus, the probability of picking a prime number, and then another prime number:
