Question

Paul and Dave are trading baseball cards. Dave is offering Paul a chance to pick one card at random from his collection of rare and expensive cards. Dave’s cards include 5 pitchers, 2 catchers, 3 first baseman, and 2 outfielders. What is the probability that Paul will pick either a catcher card or a first baseman card?

Answer 1

Paul will most likely pick the first basemen card because there are more chances because there is more first basemen than catchers

Answer 2

First add up all the cards together. 5+2+3+2= 12 Then add the number of catchers and first basemen together 3+2= 5 That gives 5/12. The probability is 5/12
