Chapter 0.3, Problem 17E

To determine

To find Probability of outcome where cards are drawn randomly from a hat numbered 1 to 28.

Answer to Problem 17E

  $P=\frac{13}{28}$

Explanation of Solution

Given Information: Cards are drawn randomly from a hat numbered 1 to 28

Formula Used : $P=\frac{PossibleOutcomes}{TotalOutcomes}$

Calculation:

When cards are drawn randomly from a hat numbered 1 to 28 numberof outcomes is 1.

To find the probability of outcome where cards are drawn randomly from a hat numbered 1 to 28 is less than 14, the possible outcomes will be 13 i.e. 1 to 13.

  $P\left(lessthan14\right)=\frac{PossibleOutcomes}{TotalOutcomes}$

So-

  $P=\frac{13}{28}$

Hence the final answer is,

  $P=\frac{13}{28}$
