3/29

1/3

1/15

Answer 1

Answer:

3/29

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 10+6+9+5 cards = 30

10 yellow, 6 green, 9 orange, and 5 red cards

Draw a card

P(yellow) = number of yellow cards/ total

               =10/30 = 1/3

Now keep the yellow card

There are a total of 19+6+9+5 cards = 29

Draw a card

P(yellow) = number of yellow cards/ total

                 =9/29

P(yellow, not replaced, yellow) = 1/3 *9/29

                                                   =9 /87 =3/29
