Question

There are 10 number cards, numbered 1 - 10, what is the probability of randomly selecting an even number from the cards? Determine the likelihood of this event.The subject is math.

Answer 1

SOLUTION

Since they are 10 cards, the total possible outcome is 10.

There are five cards bearing even numbers. These are 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10

$\begin{gathered} \text{Probability = }\frac{n\text{umber of outcomes}}{\text{total possible outcomes }} \\ \\ \text{Probability = }\frac{5}{10\text{ }} \\ \\ \text{= }\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}$
