SOLUTION

Given the question in the image, the following are the solution steps to answer the question.

STEP 1: Write the formula for Probability

[tex]Probability=\frac{number\text{ of required outcomes}}{number\text{ of total possible outcomes}}[/tex]

STEP 2: Write the number of outcomes

Number of birds = 4

Number of total flashcards = 30

STEP 3: Find the probability

By substitution,

[tex]Probability=\frac{4}{30}=\frac{2}{15}[/tex]

Hence, the probability is 2/15
