Answer: 50% probability or 1/2

Step by Step Explanation: Since theres two types of numbers even and odd, half of the number are even and half are odd so theres a 50% chance or for every 2 random generated numbers there is one even and one odd.

1/2

Explanation:

Between 1 and 100, there are 50 even numbers and 50 odd numbers

P( even) = number of evens/ total
