Problem-Solving and Data Analysis practice question

A box holds 10 cards numbered 1 to 10. One card is drawn at random. What is the probability that the number on the card is greater than 7?

Answer: 3/10 or 0.3

The cards 8, 9, and 10 qualify: 3 out of 10.

Common wrong answers

If you answered 3
3 is the count of qualifying cards, not a probability.
If you answered 7/10
7/10 counts the cards 1 to 7 instead.
If you answered 4/10
4/10 wrongly includes the 7.
