Q. You pick a card at random.\newline123123\newlineWhat is P(2P(2 or less than 3)3)?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)14\frac{1}{4}\newline(B)23\frac{2}{3}\newline(C)11\newline(D)21\frac{2}{1}
  1. Identify Total Outcomes: Identify the total number of possible outcomes and the favorable outcomes. Since the problem mentions picking a card, we assume a standard deck of 5252 cards. However, the problem statement is unclear about the type of cards, so we assume it's about numbers 11 to 44, making 44 possible outcomes.
  2. Define Event: Define the event "22 or less than 33". This includes the numbers 11 and 22. There are 22 favorable outcomes (11 and 22).
  3. Calculate Probability: Calculate the probability using the formula P(E)=Number of favorable outcomesTotal number of possible outcomesP(E) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of possible outcomes}}. Here, P(2 or less than 3)=24=12P(2 \text{ or less than } 3) = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}.
