Q. You pick a card at random.\newline789789\newlineWhat is P(not less than 8)P(\text{not less than } 8)?\newlineWrite your answer as a fraction or whole number.\newline_____\_\_\_\_\_
  1. Calculate Total Outcomes: First, let's figure out the total number of possible outcomes when picking a card. Since the problem doesn't specify the type of cards, let's assume a standard deck of 5252 cards.
  2. Count Cards Not Less Than 88: Next, we need to count how many cards have a number not less than 88. In a standard deck, these would be 88, 99, 1010, Jack, Queen, King, and Ace from each suit. That's 77 cards per suit, and there are 44 suits. So, 77 cards ×\times 44 suits =28= 28 cards.
  3. Calculate Probability: Now, calculate the probability. Probability = Number of favorable outcomesTotal number of outcomes=2852\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}} = \frac{28}{52}.
  4. Simplify Fraction: Simplify the fraction 2852\frac{28}{52}. Both numbers are divisible by 44. So, 28÷4=728 \div 4 = 7 and 52÷4=1352 \div 4 = 13. Therefore, the simplified fraction is 713\frac{7}{13}.
