Answer:

Hello!

The probability that the number chosen is greater then 3 and odd is 2/8

There are 5 numbers greater then 3, and of those 5, five and seven are the only odd numbers. So that is 2/8

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 5 numbers greater then 3, and of those 5, five and seven are the only odd numbers. So that is 2/8

If you are only talking about the numbers that are actually greater then 3 as your population, it is 2/5 :)

If a number randomly chosen is greater than 3, the probability that the number is odd is 2/5

The set of numbers is given as:

Set = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}.

The numbers greater than 3 are:

G3 = {4, 5, 6, 7, 8}

The odd numbers greater than 3 are

OG3 = {5, 7}

The required probability is then calculated using:

P = n(OG3)/n(G3)

This gives

P = 2/5

Hence, the probability is 2/5
