=2/7

Answer 2

Answer:

The probability of picking a weekend day  = $\frac{2}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find,

The probability of picking a weekend day

Solution

Recall the formula

The probability of an event is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes.

Here the total outcomes are the days of the week and the favorable outcomes are the weekend days of the week.

Since there are seven days in a week, the total number of possible outcomes = 7

The number of favorable outcomes = 2, since the number of weekends in a week = 2

Hence, the probability is calculated as   = $\frac{Number \ of\ favorable \ outcomes }{Total\ no\ of \ outcomes}$

= $\frac{2}{7}$

∴ The probability of picking a weekend day  = $\frac{2}{7}$
