Answer: 1/4

Explanation:

Since the box box contains four equal-sized cards labeled 1 , 3, 5, and 7. The probability of selecting any number out of the four numbers will be 1/4 if they are selected once.

If Tim selects one card from the box, the probability that Tim will select a card labeled 3 will be: = 1/4

This is because 3 only occurs once and there are 4 numbers in total.
