 A card is drawn from a deck of cards numbered 1-20. The card is NOT replaced and another card is drawn. Find the probability that a prime number is drawn and then a composite number. I am totally lost...Please help...thank you

-----------

The primes are 2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19

Non-primes are 1,4,6,8,9,10,12,14,15,16,18,20

----------------------------

P(select prime, then non-prime) = (8/20)(12/19) = (2/5)(12/19) = 24/95
