Jennifer is playing cards with her bestie when she draws a card from a pack of 25 cards numbered from 1 to 25. What is the probability of drawing a number that is square?
The squares from 1 - 25 less than or equal to 25 are as follows:
{1, 4, 9, 16, 25}
Therefore, our probability of drawing a square is:
P(square) = Number of Squares / Number of Cards
P(square) = 5/25
This fraction can be simplified. So we type in 5/25 into our search engine, choose simplify, and we get:
P(square) = 1/5
The squares from 1 - 25 less than or equal to 25 are as follows:
- 1^2 = 1
- 2^2 = 4
- 3^2 = 9
- 4^2 = 16
- 5^2 = 25
{1, 4, 9, 16, 25}
Therefore, our probability of drawing a square is:
P(square) = Number of Squares / Number of Cards
P(square) = 5/25
This fraction can be simplified. So we type in 5/25 into our search engine, choose simplify, and we get:
P(square) = 1/5
