Question

you pick a card at random. what is p(divisor of 5)? simplify your answer and write it as a fraction or whole number.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify divisors of 5

The divisors of 5 are 1 and 5. Among 3, 4, 5, only 5 is a divisor of 5.

Step2: Calculate probability

The probability formula is $P(A)=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$. Here, the total number of cards is 3, and the number of favorable outcomes (cards with a divisor of 5) is 1. So $P(\text{divisor of }5)=\frac{1}{3}$.

Answer:

$\frac{1}{3}$
