Question

You pick a card at random.

5
6
7
8


What is P(not less than 6)?

Answer 1

3/4

Explanation:

You can see that there are 4 cards with numbers 5, 6, 7 and 8 on them. They make the sample space. Total outcomes, n(S) = 4

Let the event E is picking a card not less than 6.

The outcomes of the event 'not less than 6' are 6, 7 and 8. So n(E) = 3

So, the required probability, P(not less than 6) = n(E) / n(S) = 3/4

Answer 2

3/4

Explanation:

There are 4 cards total

The card not less than 6 are 6,7,8 = 3 cards

P( not less than 6) = number of cards not less than 6 / total

= 3/4
