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

Probability of picking a card with an even number is
`(3)/(10)`.

Explanation:

There are 10 cards on which numbers are written 7, 11, 12, 13, 14, 18, 21, 23, 27 and 29.

These cards are placed on a table with the numbers facing down.

To find the probability of picking a card with an even number, first we count all the even numbers written on the cards.

12, 14 and 18 out of 10 cards there are 3 even numbers written on the cards.

So the probability of picking a card with an even number is
`(3)/(10)`.

Answer 2

there are a total of 10 cards

there are 3 cards with even numbers

so you have a 3/10 probability of picking an even n umber
