GCSE Maths Practice: probability-scale

Question 4 of 10

Practice probability of sequential draws from a mixed bag of colored cards.

‹ ›

\( \begin{array}{l}\textbf{What is the probability of drawing a yellow card} \\ \text{followed by a blue card from a bag containing} \\ \text{3 yellow, 5 blue, and 4 green cards, without replacement?}\end{array} \)

Choose one option:

\( \frac{3}{12} \times \frac{5}{11} \) \( \frac{3}{12} \times \frac{4}{11} \) \( \frac{5}{12} \times \frac{3}{11} \)

Sequential probabilities: adjust totals for remaining cards and multiply.

For sequential draws without replacement, adjust total for second draw and multiply probabilities.
