We’ll use probability to answer this question.

Probability: Number of even numbers / All numbers added together.

Odd numbers: 1,3,7
Even numbers: 4

All numbers added together (amount of numbers not the numbers itself!) = 4

Amount of even numbers = 1

Probability of getting an even number is 1/4

Answer: Yes she is correct, the probability of getting an even number is 1/4.
