Q. You pick a card at random.789What is P(not less than 8)?Write your answer as a fraction or whole number._____
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 52 cards.
Count Cards Not Less Than 8: Next, we need to count how many cards have a number not less than 8. In a standard deck, these would be 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen, King, and Ace from each suit. That's 7 cards per suit, and there are 4 suits. So, 7 cards ×4 suits =28 cards.
Calculate Probability: Now, calculate the probability. Probability = Total number of outcomesNumber of favorable outcomes=5228.
Simplify Fraction: Simplify the fraction 5228. Both numbers are divisible by 4. So, 28÷4=7 and 52÷4=13. Therefore, the simplified fraction is 137.
