Q. You pick a card at random.\newline123123\newlineWhat is P(1 or 2)P(1 \text{ or } 2)?\newlineWrite your answer as a fraction or whole number.\newline_____\_\_\_\_\_
  1. Identify total outcomes: Identify the total number of possible outcomes. There are 33 cards, numbered 11, 22, and 33.
  2. Determine favorable outcomes: Determine the number of favorable outcomes. We need to find the probability of picking a card numbered 11 or 22, so there are 22 favorable outcomes (card 11 and card 22).
  3. Calculate probability: Calculate the probability using the formula P(Event)=Number of favorable outcomesTotal number of outcomesP(\text{Event}) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}. Here, P(1 or 2)=23P(1 \text{ or } 2) = \frac{2}{3}.
