Question

You pick a card at random.

2
3
4


What is P(less than 4)?

Write your answer as a fraction or whole number.

Answer 1

To find the probability \( P(\text{less than } 4) \), we first identify the total number of possible outcomes and the number of favorable outcomes.

The possible card values are:
- 2
- 3
- 4

The total number of outcomes is 3 (since there are 3 cards).

Now, we count the number of outcomes that are less than 4. The values less than 4 are:
- 2
- 3

There are 2 values that are less than 4.

Therefore, the probability \( P(\text{less than } 4) \) is calculated as follows:

\[
P(\text{less than } 4) = \frac{\text{Number of outcomes less than 4}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}} = \frac{2}{3}
\]

So, the answer is:

\[
\frac{2}{3}
\]
