Question

Lucy places five cards that are labeled 1 to 6 face down on the table and mixes them up. What is the likelihood that her friend Harry will draw an even numbered card?

Answer 1

Answer:

1/2 or 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Within 1 to 6,

Even numbers are 2, 4, 6

While odd numbers are 1, 3, 5

Assuming cards are mixed up properly and the probabilities of drawing a card with any number from 1 to 6 is constant,

Probability of drawing even number cards = number of units of even number cards ÷ total number of units of cards from 1 to 6 aka total number of cards

= 3 / 6

= 1 / 2
