You have a three card deck containing a king, a queen , and a jack. You draw a random card, then put it back and draw a second random card.
\n" ); document.write( "calculate the probability that you draw exactly one jack.
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "Since you replaced the 1st jack the draws are independent.
\n" ); document.write( "P(jack, no jack) = P(jack)P(no jack) = 1/3*2/3 = 2/9
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "But [jack/no jack] and [no jack/jack] are mutually exclusive events,
\n" ); document.write( "So probability of exactly one jack is 2/9 + 2/9 = 4/9
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "Why?
\n" ); document.write( "P(no jacks in two draws) = (2/3)^2 = 4/9
\n" ); document.write( "P(two jacks in two draws) = (1/3)^2 = 1/9
\n" ); document.write( "So, prop(exactly one jack in two draws) = 1-4/9-1/9 = 4/9
\n" ); document.write( "=====================
