Question

a magazine contains fourteen pages. you open to a random page. find the probability the page number is three or seven.

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the total number of pages

The magazine has 14 pages.

Step2: Calculate the probability

The probability formula is \(P(A)=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}\). Here, the number of favorable outcomes (page number is three or seven) is 2 (page 3 and page 7). The total number of outcomes is 14. So \(P = \frac{2}{14}=\frac{1}{7}\)

Answer:

\(\frac{1}{7}\)
