Verified Answer :

There is a total number of 8 numbers, there are only 4 even numbers, so the answer is 4/8 or 1/2.

Answer: \(\dfrac{1}{2}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A number between 8 and 15 is picked at random.

The total numbers between 8 and 15 ={9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14}=6

The even numbers between 8 and 15 = 3

Then, the probability that the number picked is an even number is given by :-

\(\dfrac{\text{Even Numbers}}{\text{Total numbers}}=\dfrac{3}{6}=\dfrac{1}{2}\)

Hence, the probability that the number picked is an even number :   \(\dfrac{1}{2}\)
