Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
- [b] Consider the following events: A: getting a card with mark I in first draw B: getting a card with mark I in second draw C: getting a card with mark T in this draw Then, the required probability is $ P(A\cap B\cap C)=P(A)P(B/A)P(C/A\cap B) $ $ =\frac{10}{20}\times \frac{9}{19}\times \frac{10}{18}=\frac{5}{38} $
