Question

you pick a card at random.
what is p(3 or odd)?
write your answer as a fraction or whole number.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify total possible outcomes

Total cards = 4, so total outcomes = 4

Step2: Identify favorable outcomes

Favorable cards: 3, 5 (3 is odd, so "3 or odd" includes all odd cards). Number of favorable outcomes = 2

Step3: Calculate probability

Probability = $\frac{\text{Favorable Outcomes}}{\text{Total Outcomes}}$ = $\frac{2}{4}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$

Answer:

$\frac{1}{2}$
