Answer

The probability is\[\frac{1}{38}\].

Work Step by Step

The probability is calculated as \[P\left( E \right)=\frac{N\left( E \right)}{N\left( S \right)}\] The total numbers are 38, so \[P\left( E \right)=38\] The total number of slots with the number 7 is 1, so\[N\left( E \right)=1\] Substitute the values in the above formula: \[\begin{align} & P\left( E \right)=\frac{N\left( E \right)}{N\left( S \right)} \\ & =\frac{1}{38} \end{align}\] Hence, the probability is \[\frac{1}{38}\].
