First you have 3 blues out of 13 cards, so the first card has probability 3/13. Then you have 2 blues out of 12 cards, so the second card has probability 2/12 or 1/6. The probability of both being blue is the product of these probabilities:

P(two blues) = P(first blue) * P(second blue) = (3/13) * (1/6) = 3/78 or 1/26

Suppose one in every four cars is black and black SUVs amount to one tenth of all cars What is the probability that a black car picked at random is an SUV?

Suppose there are only 20 cars in the world: 5 will be black and 2 will be black SUVs, so if you pick a black car at random there are 2 chances out of 5 that it will be an SUV, ie probability of 0.4 or 40%


What the probability that Fred will get a black sweet if there 3 yellow sweets 5 green sweets 7 red sweets 4 purple sweets 1 black sweet?

A jar contains 16 black 13 blue 9 purple marble is drawn at random?

This question is incomplete. Normally it would state what color you are looking for. With the given info, the probability of getting a black is 16/38, or 8/19; for blue it's 13/38; and for purple it's 9/38. You find the probability by counting how many there are of what you're looking for and dividing it by how many total there are of everything.
