Question 19 • Geometry

Giulia is playing a game with 6 cards: 4 kings, 1 queen, and 1 jack. She draws 1 card out of the stack of cards, replaces it, and then draws another card. What is the probability that she will draw a king and then a jack, cap p times open paren king comma then jack close paren ?

Answer
A
1 twenty-fourth
B
1 sixth
C
1 thirty-sixth
D
1 ninth

Explanation

Because Giulia replaces the first card, there are still 6 cards for the second draw. The probability of drawing a king first is 4/6, and the probability of drawing a jack second is 1/6. Multiply: (4/6) × (1/6) = 4/36 = 1/9, so the correct choice is 1 ninth.
