Question 4(ii)
Numbers 1 to 10 is written on ten separate slips (one number on one slip), kept in a box and mixed well. One slip is chosen from the box without looking into it.What is the probability of :
getting a number less than 6.

Answer 1

Numbers less than 6 are 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 which are five. So there are 5 outcomes. Therefore, probability of getting a number less than $6=\frac{5}{10}=\frac{1}{2}$
