Question

A random number generator generates numbersfrom 1 to 10. What is the probability that the numbergenerator generates a number less than 3? (Giveyour answer as a percentage or ratio in simplestform.)

Answer 1

Given:

A random number generator generates numbers from 1 to 10.

So, the all possible outcomes = 10

The number of outcomes when the number generator generates a number less than 3 = 2 ( which are the numbers 1 and 2)

So, the probability = 2/10 = 0.2

The probability as a percentage = 0.2 * 100% = 20%

So, the answer will be 20%
