Hi there,
Total number of cards = 9
Total number of odd numbered cards = 4
Probability of selecting an odd numbered
card = 4/9
Total number of cards that are a multiple
of 3 = 3
Probability of selecting a card that is
a multiple of 3 = 3/9 or 1/3
The probability of selecting the
6 of clubs = 1/9
The probability of not selecting
the 10 of clubs = 8/9
Hope this helps:-)
