Answer:

d. 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Information to know

15 cards left in the deck, and 5 are diamond, to find the probability of the next 2 cards being diamond, one has to find the probability of the 1st card as a diamond, and then multiply it by the probability of the 2nd card being a diamond.

Remember, probability is;

\frac{favorable-outcomes}{total-outcomes}

2. Find probability 1

favorable out comes; diamond = 5

total outcomes; total cards = 15

probability is; \frac{5}{15}

Simplified; \frac{1}{3}

3. Finding probability 2

If the last card drawn was a diamond then the new numbers will be

favorable outcomes; 4

total outcomes; 14

Probability is; \frac{4}{14}

Simplified; \frac{2}{7}

4. Total probability

Now, one has to multiply the first probability by the second probability to find the probability of the event;

\frac{1}{3} * \frac{2}{7}

= \frac{2}{21}

= 0.095238

Murrr4er [49]
1. x
2. x + 2
3. x + 4

x + 4 + 2x = 25. Second option is the answer.


Combine like terms
3x + 4 = 25
Subtract 4 from both sides
3x = 21
Divide both sides by 3
x = 7
