Answer:

0.1 for each case

Explanation:

Because Jordan's teacher randomly calls on students and Jordan has 10% chance of being called on any given day, the probability that on the first day Jordan is called on is 0.1 Besides, the probability remains constant on any given day, so, the probability that on the 2nd day Jordan is called on is 0.1 and for the 5th day is the same 0.1 Probability is always a number between 0 and 1.
