Question

You pick a card at random.

2
3
4
5
6
7


What is P(even)?

Write your answer as a percentage rounded to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

To find the probability of picking an even card from the given set of cards (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7), we first identify the even numbers in the set.

The even numbers are:
- 2
- 4
- 6

So there are 3 even cards.

Next, we count the total number of cards:
- The total is 6 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7).

Now, we can calculate the probability \( P(\text{even}) \):
\[
P(\text{even}) = \frac{\text{Number of even cards}}{\text{Total number of cards}} = \frac{3}{6} = 0.5
\]

To express this probability as a percentage, we multiply by 100:
\[
P(\text{even}) = 0.5 \times 100 = 50\%
\]

Therefore, the final answer is:
\[
\boxed{50.0\%}
\]
