Question

A game comes with a deck of cards with each card showing one of the numbers 2,3,4,5,6, or 8. Each card occurs one time in red and one time in purple, and one time in blue. Given that a blue card is drawn what is the probability the card is 4

Answer 1

0.1667 = 16.67%.

Explanation:

We already know that the card drawn is blue, so now we need to check the value of the card.

The blue cards have 6 possibilities of values (2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 8), and the number 4 appears only 1 time, so the probability of the blue card having the value 4 is the number of times this value occurs by the number of possible values:

P = 1/6 = 0.1667 = 16.67%.
