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 6?

• A. $\frac{6}{10}$
• B. $\frac{3}{10}$
• C. $\frac{1}{10}$
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{1}{10}$

Since there are $10$ slips. At a time any slip can be taken out.

$\therefore$ No. of outcomes $=10$

Now,

we can get a slip containing the number ${}^{\prime }{6}^{\prime }$ only once

$\therefore$ No. of favorable outcomes$=1$

Thus, probability of getting the number $6=\frac{1}{10}$
