Question

A bag contains 15 cards numbered 1 through 15. A card is randomly chosen from the bag. What is the probability that the card has an odd number on it? Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer 1

There are 15 cards numbers are from 1 to 15.

From the numbers 1 to 15:

• 8 numbers, are ,odd

,

• 7 numbers, are ,even,

The probability is the possibility of an event occuring.

Probability of event to happen P(A) = Number of favourable outcomes/Total Number of outcomes

Thus, the probability of an odd card is:

total number of odd cards/total number of cards

= 8/15

the Correct Answer is:

`(8)/(15)`
