Question

you pick a card at random.
what is p(2)?
write your answer as a fraction or whole number.

Explanation:

Step1: Determine total number of cards

There are 4 cards (1, 2, 3, 4), so total outcomes = 4.

Step2: Determine favorable outcomes for picking 2

There is 1 card with number 2, so favorable outcomes = 1.

Step3: Calculate probability

Probability \( P(2) = \frac{\text{favorable outcomes}}{\text{total outcomes}} = \frac{1}{4} \).

Answer:

\(\frac{1}{4}\)
