Math Problem Statement

you have these odds on each round to get wanted card 3/11 2/18 1/17, what are the odds of getting the card on each round

Solution

To calculate the overall probability of getting the desired card in each round, we'll approach this by computing the chance of not getting the card in each round and then using that to find the chance of getting it.

For each round:

  1. First round: Probability of not getting the card = 1311=8111 - \frac{3}{11} = \frac{8}{11}.

    • Probability of getting the card = 311\frac{3}{11}.
  2. Second round: Probability of not getting the card = 1218=1618=891 - \frac{2}{18} = \frac{16}{18} = \frac{8}{9}.

    • Probability of getting the card = 218=19\frac{2}{18} = \frac{1}{9}.
  3. Third round: Probability of not getting the card = 1117=16171 - \frac{1}{17} = \frac{16}{17}.

    • Probability of getting the card = 117\frac{1}{17}.

Overall odds of getting the card in each round:

  1. First round: 311\frac{3}{11}
  2. Second round: 19\frac{1}{9}
  3. Third round: 117\frac{1}{17}

These are the individual probabilities of drawing the desired card in each respective round.
