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

Answer:

$40\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

$P(X > 4)=P(5)+P(6)=\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{5}=\frac{2}{5}=40\%$

Answer 2

Answer:

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

Step-by-step 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) = $\frac{2}{5}$.

Next, find the percentage:

$\frac{2}{5} * \frac{20}{20} = \frac{40}{100} = 0.40 = 40\%$
