Interactive practice questions

Three cards labelled $\editable{2}$2, $\editable{3}$3 and $\editable{4}$4 are placed face down on a table. Two of the cards are selected randomly to form a two-digit number. The outcomes are displayed in the following probability tree.

a

List the sample space of two digit numbers produced by this process.

Separate different outcomes with a comma.

b

Find the probability that $2$2 appears as a digit in the number.

c

Find the probability that the sum of the two selected cards is even.

d

What is the probability of forming a number greater than $40$40?
