If the number 8 is PUT BACK INTO the group after the first draw, the probability of drawing an 8 then a 2 from 11 numbers is: 0.8% or eight-tenths of a percent [reason #1]
If the number 8 is REMOVED from the group after the first draw, the probability of drawing an 8 then a 2 from 11 numbers is: 0.9% or nine-tenths of a percent [reason #2]
Reason # 1 :
On the first draw, you have a 1 in 11 chance of drawing the 8 (9%) then on the second draw there is again a 1 in 11 chance of drawing the 2 (9%). So 9% x 9% = 0.8% or 8/10 % (or 0.008)
Reason # 2 :
On the first draw, you have a 1 in 11 chance of drawing the 8 (9%) then on the second draw you only have a 1 in 10 chance of drawing the 2 (10%). So 9% x 10% = 0.9% or 9/10 % (or 0.009) OR If the first ball is removed, the odds are 55 to 1.

What is the probability of drawing a vowel from the word mathematics?
You have a total of 11 letters in "mathematics" and you have 4 vowels (a,e,a,i) so the probability of drawing a vowel is 4/11. In other words if you were to consider the vowel's to be 1's and the consonants 2's. What is the probability of drawing a "1". There would be 4 1's and 7 2's. It would be 4/11
What is the probability of drawing 3 hearts in a row?
The probability of drawing 3 hearts in a row in a 52 card deck is 13/52 * 12/51 * 11/50 = 1716/132600 = 0.01294, or approximately 1 chance in 77.
What is the probability of drawing 5 face cards from a standard deck of cards?
The probability of drawing one face card is 12 in 52. The probability of drawing the second face card, then, is 11 in 51. And so on, 10 in 50, 9 in 49, and 8 in 48. Since this is sequential probability, simply multiply the odds, giving (12/52)(11/51)(10/50)(9/49)(8/48) or (95040/311875200). I'l leave it to the reader to do the simple reduction to lowest terms.
What is the probability number is perfect square from 10 to 20?
There are 11 numbers from 10 to 20 if we include 10 and 20. Of those, only 16 is a perfect square. So the probability if 1/11 or .09 repeating.
Franklin rolls a pair of six-sided fair dice with sides numbered 1 through 6. The probability that the sum of the numbers rolled is either even or a multiple of 5 is . The probability that the sum of?
The probability that the sum of the numbers rolled is either even or a multiple of 5 is 11/18.
What is the probability of drawing 3 cards that are all face cards?
The probability of drawing the first face card is 12 in 52. The probability of drawing the second is 11 in 51. The probability of drawing the third is 10 in 50. Thus, the probability of drawing three face cards is (12 in 52) times (11 in 51) times (10 in 50) or (1320 in 132600) or about 0.009955.

A card drawn from 52 cards the probability of getting a face card or spade?
The probability of drawing a spade is 1/4 (13/52). The probability of drawing a face card is 3/13 (12/52). The probability of drawing a spade face card is 3/52 (3/52). 13 + 12 - 3 = 22 The probability of drawing a spade or a face card is 11/26 (22/52).

What is the probability of drawing a red even card from a deck and then throwing a sum of 11 with a pair of dice?
The probability of drawing a red even card is 5 in 13 (assuming that the face cards are neither even nor odd). The probability of throwing a sum of 11 is 1 in 18. The probability, then, of doing both of these actions, since they are mutually independent, is simply their product, or (5 in 13) times (1 in 18) equals 5 in 234, or about 0.02137.
There are 38 numbers on a roulette wheel and I bet 12 of them. What is the probability of not hitting one of my numbers on 11 consecutive spins?
If the probability of an event will occur is p, then the probability that it will occur in n trials is pn.(That's p raised to the n power). So if you bet on 12 numbers, then (38-12=26) numbers are empty. The probability of the ball landing on one of these empty numbers is 26/38. So (26/38)^11 = 0.01538, which is about 1.538 % or a 1 in 65 chance.
What is the probability of drawing two M's without replacement from the word mathematical?

How many ways can a hand of five cards consisting of four cards from one suit and one card from another suit be drawn from a standard deck of cards I think combination?
The probability of five cards being four cards from one suit and one card from another suit is the same as the probability of drawing four cards from one suit multiplied by the probability of drawing one card from another suit, multiplied by 5 (for each of the possible positions this other card can be drawn in). The probability of drawing four cards from one suit is 12/51 x 11/50 x 10/49. The probability of drawing a fifth card from another suit is 39/48. All these numbers multiplied together (and multiplied by 5) come to 0.0429. So the probability of drawing a hand of five cards with four cards from one suit and one card from another is 5.29%
