you pick a card at random. what is p(less than 8)? write your answer as a fraction or whole number.

Explanation:

Step1: Determine total outcomes

There are 3 cards, so total outcomes = 3.

Step2: Determine favorable outcomes

Numbers less than 8 is 7, so favorable outcomes = 1.

Step3: Calculate probability

Probability formula is $P(A)=\frac{\text{favorable outcomes}}{\text{total outcomes}}$, so $P(\text{less than }8)=\frac{1}{3}$.

Answer:

$\frac{1}{3}$
