Out of 5 cards in the bag ...
-- There are 2 even numbers . . . 2 and 4 .
-- There are 3 odd numbers . . . 1, 3, and 5 .
So EITHER time, the probability of pulling an even number is 2/5 ,
and the probability of pulling an odd number is 3/5 .
The probability of pulling an even number the first time
AND an odd number the second time is
(2/5) x (3/5) = 6/25 = <em>24%</em> .
-6, because you can see a pattern in which the x coordinate of each pair is reversed to the opposite value, from positive to negative.
24 times as it takes 8 times to fill 1 Litre so 8x3 = 24
