A bag contains eight balls labeled 1 through 8. One ball will be randomly picked.What is the probability of picking an even number?Write your answer as a fraction.

Respuesta :

ANSWER

[tex]P(\text{even)}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

EXPLANATION

The bag contains balls labeled 1 through 8.

From 1 to 8, there are 4 even numbers and 4 odd numbers.

Therefore, the probability of picking an even number is the number of even numbers divided by the total number of balls.

That is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} P(\text{even)}=\frac{4}{8} \\ P(\text{even)}=\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]

That is the answer.
