Probability of choosing a card that has an even number on it
= (8)/(17)

Explanation

Cards: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17

There are total 17 cards and we are choosing only one card randomly which has even number on it.

The even number cards are: 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16

That means there are total 8 even number cards.

So, Probability of choosing a card that has an even number on it
= (8)/(17)
