Q. You pick a card at random.3456What is P(not less than 6)?Write your answer as a percentage.____%
Identify total number of cards: Step 1: Identify the total number of cards and the relevant cards for the event.In a standard deck, there are 52 cards. Cards with values less than 6 are 2, 3, 4, and 5 of each suit (clubs, diamonds, hearts, spades). Each suit has 4 cards less than 6, so 4 suits ×4 cards 61 cards.
Calculate number of cards: Step 2: Calculate the number of cards that are not less than 6.Total cards = 52Cards not less than 6 = Total cards - Cards less than 6= 52−16= 36
Calculate probability as percentage: Step 3: Calculate the probability as a percentage.Probability (not less than 6) = (Total number of cardsNumber of cards not less than 6)×100= (5236)×100= 69.23\%
