To find the probability of getting a card with an odd number from a pack of five identical cards numbered 1 to 5, we need to follow these steps:
1. Determine the total number of cards:
The pack contains 5 cards, which are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Therefore, the total number of cards is 5.
2. Identify the cards with odd numbers:
From the numbers 1 to 5, the odd numbers are 1, 3, and 5. So, there are 3 cards with odd numbers.
3. Calculate the probability:
The probability [tex]\( P \)[/tex] of drawing an odd card is given by the ratio of the number of odd cards to the total number of cards.
[tex]\[
P = \frac{\text{Number of odd cards}}{\text{Total number of cards}}
\][/tex]
Here, the number of odd cards is 3, and the total number of cards is 5. Therefore,
[tex]\[
P = \frac{3}{5}
\][/tex]
This fraction can be further converted to a decimal if needed. Thus, the decimal representation of [tex]\(\frac{3}{5}\)[/tex] is 0.6.
4. Result:
Hence, the probability of getting a card with an odd number from this pack is 0.6, or 60%.
By summarizing, out of 5 cards (with numbers 1 to 5), there are 3 odd-numbered cards. So, the probability of drawing one of these odd cards is [tex]\( \frac{3}{5} \)[/tex] which is 0.6 in decimal form.
