Question

The numbers 7, 11, 12, 13, 14, 18, 21, 23, 27, and 29 are written on separate cards, and the cards are placed on a table with the numbers facing down. The probability of picking a card with an even number is

Answer 1

Answer:

3/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 : Write the formula of calculating probability

Probability = Number of favourable outcomes/Number of total outcomes

Step 2 : Identify the favourable (requires) outcomes and the total outcomes

• Total outcomes are the total cards that are placed on the table = 10 cards
• The favourable outcomes are the number of cards that have an even number on them.

       12, 14, 18 = 3 cards

Step 3 : Substitute the values in the formula

Probability = Number of favourable outcomes/Number of total outcomes

Probability = 3/10

Therefore, the probability of picking a card with and even number is 3/10.
