Mark purchased a box of 20 sports cards at a garage sale. Five are baseball cards, 8 are football cards, 2 are basketball cards, and the rest are hockey cards. If he draws one from the box, what is the probability that it will be a basketball card?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]P(basketball)=0.1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is defined as the likelihood of an event occurring .

-The number of possible basketball cards is 2

-The total number of cards is 20

#Probability  that it will be a basketball card is calculated as:

[tex]P(basketball)=\frac{No \ of \ Basketball \ Successes}{No \ of \ events}\\\\=\frac{2}{20}\\\\=0.1[/tex]

Hence, the probability of a basketball card is 0.1
