10 cards are numbered from 1 to 10 and placed in a box. One card is selected at random and is not replaced. Another card is then randomly selected. What is the probability of selecting two prime numbers?

Respuesta :

the probability of selecting the first card which is a prime number is [tex] \frac{5}{10} [/tex]
the probability of selecting the first card which is a prime number is [tex] \frac{4}{9} [/tex]
the probability of selecting two prime numbers is [tex] \frac{5}{10} [/tex]×[tex] \frac{4}{9} [/tex]=[tex] \frac{2}{9} [/tex]
You multiply 5/10 × 4/9 = 2/9

So the answer is 2/9
