Question

You pick a card at random.

2 3 4 5 6
What is P(greater than 4)?

Write your answer as a percentage.

Answer 1

`40\%`

Explanation:

`P(X > 4)=P(5)+P(6)=(1)/(5)+(1)/(5)=(2)/(5)=40\%`

Answer 2

P(greater than 4) =
`40\%`

Explanation:

There are 5 given numbers (2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6). You are solving for the probability of obtaining a card greater than (and not equal to 4). In this case, there will be two numbers (5 & 6). Find the probability:

P(greater than 4) = (Amount of numbers greater than 4/Total amount of numbers) =
`(2)/(5)`.

Next, find the percentage:

`(2)/(5) * (20)/(20) = (40)/(100) = 0.40 = 40\%`
