Question

Numbers $1$ to $10$ are 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 $6$ is $1/m$ Value of $m$ is

Answer 1

Out of 10 slips, 1 slip can be drawn in 10 ways. So, the total number of outcomes = 10
An event of getting a number less than 6,i.e., if we obtain a slip having any of numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 as an outcome.
So, favourable number of cases = 5
Thus, Required probability = $\frac{5}{10}=\frac{1}{2}$
