Question

Mark purchased a box of 20 sports cards at a garage sale. Five are baseball cards, 8 are football cards, 2 are basketball cards, and the rest are hockey cards. If he draws one from the box, what is the probability that it will be a basketball card?

Answer 1

`P(basketball)=0.1`

Explanation:

Probability is defined as the likelihood of an event occurring .

-The number of possible basketball cards is 2

-The total number of cards is 20

#Probability that it will be a basketball card is calculated as:

`P(basketball)=(No \ of \ Basketball \ Successes)/(No \ of \ events)\\\\=(2)/(20)\\\\=0.1`

Hence, the probability of a basketball card is 0.1
