Q. You pick a card at random.1234What is P(even or less than 4)?Choices:(A) 50%(B) 80%(C) 100%(D) 130%
Identify total cards: Identify the total number of cards and the favorable outcomes.There are 4 cards numbered from 1 to 4. Favorable outcomes for even numbers are 2 and 4. Favorable outcomes for numbers less than 4 are 1, 2, and 3.
Calculate favorable outcomes: Calculate the total number of favorable outcomes without double-counting.Even numbers: 2,4Less than 4: 1,2,3Combine without repeating: 1,2,3,4Total favorable outcomes = 4
Calculate total outcomes: Calculate the probability.Probability = (Number of favorable outcomes) / (Total number of outcomes)Probability = 44 = 1 or 100%
