Question

A bag 17 card numbers 1 through 17. A card is randomly chosen from the bag. What is the probability that the card has an odd number on it? Write the answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer 1

You have the next set of possible chosen cards:

`\begin{gathered} \lbrace1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17\rbrace \\ \end{gathered}`

A total of: 17

You have the next set of odd number:

`\lbrace1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17\rbrace`

Odd number: 9

Then, the probability of choose an odd number is: 9/17
`P=(9)/(17)`
