Prime Probability
1. The problem asks for the probability of picking a prime number card from the given set: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.
2. Identify the prime numbers in the set. Prime numbers are numbers greater than 1 that have no divisors other than 1 and themselves.
3. The prime numbers here are 3, 5, and 7.
4. Count the total number of cards: there are 7 cards in total.
5. Count the number of prime cards: there are 3 prime cards.
6. Calculate the probability of picking a prime card:
$$P(\text{prime}) = \frac{\text{number of prime cards}}{\text{total number of cards}} = \frac{3}{7}$$
7. Convert the probability to a percentage:
$$\frac{3}{7} \times 100 = 42.857...\%$$
8. Round to the nearest tenth:
$$42.9\%$$
Final answer: The probability of picking a prime card is **42.9%**.
