    Yes

    Step-by-step explanation:

    There are total 10+4 = 14 cards

    P (higher than 5) = 10/14 = 5/7

    P (lower than 5) = 4/14 = 2/7

    There's a higher chance of the card being greater than 5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Step 1: Determine if Gareth is correct

    Total number of cards → 10 + 4 → 14

    Probability of choosing lower → 4/14 → 2/7

    Probability of choosing higher → 10/14 → 5/7

    Since 5/7 > 2/7, that means that Gareth is correct be choosing a higher card.
