Respuesta :

The probability of picking a 4 in the first selection is:

[tex]P(4)=\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Now we only have the cards 1, 2, and 3 in the deck.

The probability of picking a number less than 3, that is, 1 or 2 is:

[tex]P(\lt3)=\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

The combined (dependent) probability is the product of the individual probabilities:

[tex]P=\frac{1}{4}\cdot\frac{2}{3}=\frac{1}{6}[/tex]

The probability is 1/6
