The probability helps us to know the chances of an event occurring. The probability that the next card Craig selects will be a falcon

card is 3/17.

What is Probability?

The probability helps us to know the chances of an event occurring.

[tex]\rm Probability=\dfrac{Desired\ Outcomes}{Total\ Number\ of\ outcomes\ possible}[/tex]

Given that Craig gets 4 hummingbirds, 3 falcons, 1 woodpecker, 4 owls, 3

loons, and 2 eagles. Therefore, a total of 17 possible outcomes. Now, since the number of outcomes which are falcon is 3. Therefore, the probability of the next card being a falcon can be written as,

[tex]\rm Probability=\dfrac{Desired\ Outcomes}{Total\ Number\ of\ outcomes\ possible}[/tex]

[tex]\rm Probability = \dfrac{\text{Number of falcon cards}}{\text{Total number of possible outcomes }} = \dfrac{3}{17}[/tex]

Hence, the probability that the next card Craig selects will be a falcon

card is 3/17.
