Question 917991: Cards numbered 1 to 50 are put in a hat. What is the probability that the first two cards chosen at random have prime numbers on them?
I'm so confused I know you start off the problem with 16/50 but I don't know what you multiply that by... Answer by Hawksfan(61) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If you pick out all the prime numbers from 1 to 50, there are 16 of them.
#primes/total number
first card 16/50
second card (16-1)/(50-1)= 15/49
now multiply the two fractions 16/50 * 15/49 = 240/2450= 24/245
