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