Question

There are 10 cards numbered one through 10 if one card is picked at random what is P ( > 6 ) A. 1/2 B. 3/5 C. 1/5 D. Not given

Answer 1

Given:

Number of cards = 10

If a card is picked at random, let's find (P>6).

Here, we are to find the probability that a number picked is greater than 6.

Where number greater than 6 in 10 numbered cards = 7, 8, 9, 10 ==> 4 numbers.

Hence, to find the probability, we have:

$P(>6)=\frac{\text{ number of cards greater than 6}}{\text{total number of crads}}$

Thus, we have:

$P(>6)=\frac{4}{10}=\frac{2}{5}$

The probability that a card picked is greater than 6 is 2/5
