But on the second draw, given that the first was a diamond, the probability is 12/51. These are two independent events so the total probability is the product of the two individual probabilities.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "John \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
