Math Problem Statement
Solution
To solve this probability question, let's break it down step-by-step.
Information Given:
- Cards available: 7, 8, 9
- Two draws are made without replacement.
- We are asked for the probability of:
- Drawing an even number on the first draw.
- Drawing another even number on the second draw.
Step-by-Step Solution:
-
Identify even numbers: Among the numbers 7, 8, and 9, only 8 is even.
-
First Draw Probability (Even Number):
- There is 1 even card (8) out of 3 cards.
- Probability of picking an even number (8) on the first draw = .
-
Second Draw Probability (Even Number):
- Since the draws are without replacement, if we pick 8 on the first draw, it won't be available for the second draw.
- This leaves us with only two cards: 7 and 9, which are both odd.
- Probability of picking an even number on the second draw = 0 (since no even cards are left).
Final Probability Calculation:
Since the probability of picking an even number on the second draw is 0, the overall probability of picking an even number and then another even number is also 0%.
Answer:
The probability of picking an even number followed by another even number is: \textbf{0%}

Here are five additional related questions:
- What is the probability of picking an odd number first and then another odd number?
- How would the probability change if the cards were replaced after each draw?
- What is the probability of picking an even number on the first draw regardless of the second?
- How does drawing without replacement affect the probability compared to drawing with replacement?
- If we added an additional card with an even number, how would that affect the probability?
Tip: Remember that without replacement reduces the total number of options for the second draw, which can make it impossible to meet certain conditions.
