11. Your fortune teller's jar contains 50 cards. Each card is labeled with a predicted theme that will strongly influence how you experience the neNt year. The number of cards for each of the 4 themes is as follows: 10 "lucky", 20 "sad", 15 "powerful", and 5 "kind". Detemine the probability of drawing the following: (You can leave answers in fractional form) On a single draw, "lucky". On a single draw, "sad" or "powerful". Drawing a "sad" and then, after replacing it, a "lucky". Drawing a sequence of "lucky", "kind", and "kind" (without replacement). a. d.

**Step 2**

**b)**

**a)**

**Probability of drawing a lucky card on a single draw:**

\[ P = \frac{\text{Total number of lucky cards}}{\text{Total number of cards}} \]

\[ = \frac{10}{50} \]

\[ = \frac{1}{5} \]

**b)**

**Probability of drawing a sad or powerful card in a single draw:**

\[ P = \frac{\text{Total number of sad cards}}{\text{Total number of cards}} + \frac{\text{Total number of powerful cards}}{\text{Total number of cards}} \]

\[ = \frac{20}{50} + \frac{15}{50} \]

\[ = \frac{35}{50} \]

\[ = \frac{7}{10} \]

**c)**

\[ P = \left( \frac{\text{Total number of sad cards}}{\text{Total number of cards}} \right) \left( \frac{\text{Total number of lucky cards}}{\text{Total number of cards}} \right) \]

\[ = \frac{20}{50} \times \frac{10}{50} \]

\[ = \frac{2}{25} \]

**Probabilities and Predictions from Your Fortune Teller's Jar**

Your fortune teller’s jar contains a total of 50 cards. Each card is labeled with a predicted theme that will strongly influence how you experience the next year. The distribution of these themes is as follows:

- 10 cards are labeled “lucky”
- 20 cards are labeled “sad”
- 15 cards are labeled “powerful”
- 5 cards are labeled “kind”

**Determine the probability of drawing the following:**

a. On a single draw, a “lucky” card.

b. On a single draw, a “sad” or “powerful” card.

c. Drawing a “sad” card and then, after replacing it, a “lucky” card.

d. Drawing a sequence of “lucky”, “kind”, and “kind” (without replacement).

**Instructions:**

Calculate the probabilities using fractional form.

By understanding and calculating these probabilities, you'll gain insights into basic probability concepts, such as single events, combined events, and sequences without replacement.
