Problem 16 Medium

There are three cards with numbers 8, 6, and 10. If any two cards are drawn, the difference that is most likely to occur is            .

Answer:2

If 8 and 6 are drawn, their difference is 8 - 6 = 2

If 8 and 10 are drawn, their difference is 10 - 8 = 2

If 6 and 10 are drawn, their difference is 10 - 6 = 4

Since the difference of 2 occurs more frequently, the most likely difference is 2.
