Jolene is playing cards with her bestie when she draws a card
from a pack of 35 cards numbered from 1 to 35. What is the
probability of drawing a number that is square?

Expert Solution
Step 1

A pack of cards numbered from 1 to 35.

The number that is a square from 1 to 35 are 1, 4, 9, 16 and 25.

Let A be the event that the number is a square from 1 to 35

Thus,

A = {1, 4, 9, 16, 25}

n(A) = 5

n(S) = 35
