Answer:

The probability is 5/7

Explanation:

In this question, what we are simply asked to calculate is that what is the probability of selecting a week day from the number of days in a week

The days in a week are ; Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday

The total number of days in a week is thus 7

The weekdays are Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday

The number of weekdays are 5

Thus, the probability of selecting a weekday by Edith is simply 5/7
