Answer:

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\%
