Question

A stack of cards contains five RED cards numbered 1,2,3,4,5, three BLUE cards numbered 1,2,3, and six GREEN cards numbered 1,2,3,4,5,6. If a single card is picked at random, what is the probability that the card is GREEN AND has an ODD number?Provide the final answer as a simplified fraction.

Answer 1

To answer this question we will use the following expression to compute the probability that an event occurs:

$\frac{FavorableCases}{TotalCases}.$

Notice that the given stack of cards consists of a total of 14 cards, and there are 3 cards that are green and have an odd number, therefore the probability of picking a green card that has an odd number is:

$\frac{3}{14}.$

Answer:

$\frac{3}{14}.$
