Answer:
HEY THERE!!
YOUR ANSWER =>
The cards are mixed thoroughly and a card is drawn at random from the box means that all the outcomes are equally likely.
Sample space = {1,2,3,...., 17} which has 17 equally likely outcomes.
Let A be the event 'the number on the card drawn is odd', then
A= {1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17} .
Therefore, the number of favourable outcomes to the event A = 9.
Therefore, P (odd) = 9/17.
