Question

you pick a card at random. what is p(greater than 6)? write your answer as a fraction or whole number.

Explanation:

Step1: Determine total number of outcomes

There are 3 cards, so total number of outcomes $n = 3$.

Step2: Determine number of favorable outcomes

The numbers greater than 6 among 5, 6, 7 is 7, so number of favorable outcomes $m=1$.

Step3: Calculate probability

The probability formula is $P=\frac{m}{n}$, so $P=\frac{1}{3}$.

Answer:

$\frac{1}{3}$
