From a deck of cards, 10 cards are picked at random and shuffled. The cards are as follows: 6, 5, 3, 9, 7, 6, 4, 2, 8, 2 Find the probability of picking a card having value more than 5 and find the probability of picking a card with an even number on it.
Answers
The 10 selected cards are: 6, 5, 3, 9, 7, 6, 4, 2, 8, 2
cards having value more than 5 = 6, 9, 7, 6, 8
total cards having value more than 5 = 5
Probability of picking a card having value more than 5 = 5/10 = 1/2
card with an even number on it = 6, 6, 4, 2, 8, 2
total cards with an even number on it = 6
Probability of picking a card with an even number on it = 6/10 = 3/5
Answer:
1/2 or 0.5 and 3/5 or 0.6
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the question the outcomes are 6, 5, 3, 9, 7, 6, 4, 2, 8, 2.
So, the total number of outcomes are = 10
Cards having value more than five are 6, 9, 7, 6, 8.
So, the total number of favourable outcomes are = 5
Now, the probability of picking the card having value more than five = 5/10
= 1/2 (or) 0.5
Cards having the value of an even number are 6, 6, 4, 2, 8, 2.
So, the total number offavourable outcomes are = 6
Now, the probability of picking the card hving even number on it = 6/10
= 3/5 (or) 0.6
Therefore, the required probabilities are 0.5 and 0.6 or 1/2 and 3/5.
Hope this helps you!!!
