Please only post your questions once. Repeating posts will not get a quicker response. In addition, it wastes our time looking over reposts that have already been answered in another post. Thank you.
It would help if you proofread your questions before you posted them.
Are you sure you have the right answers to the right questions? Neither fit. However, they do fit the opposite questions.
1. To find the probability of grabbing an outfielder card, you need to know the total number of cards and the number of outfielder cards.
The total number of cards is the sum of all the different types of cards: outfielders, pitchers, managers, and infielders. So, in this case, the total number of cards is 10 + 7 + 3 + 5 = 25.
The number of outfielder cards is 10.
To find the probability, divide the number of favorable outcomes (outfielder cards) by the total number of possible outcomes (total number of cards).
Probability = Number of outfielder cards / Total number of cards
Probability = 10 / 25
Probability = 2 / 5
Therefore, the probability that Paul will grab an outfielder card is 2/5.
The answer is not one of the options provided.
