Answer:
Probability that both numbers are odd =2/9
Explanation:
Odd numbers are numbers such that, when they divide 2, there is a remainder.
Ten slips of paper numbered 1 through 10 are placed in a bag.
In number one to ten, the odd numbers are 1, 3,5,7 and 9
They all divide 2 and leaves a remainder.
Total number of odd numbers is 5
Total number of both odd and even numbers from one through 10 is 10
Probability of picking an odd number
= number of odd numbers/ total numbers.
Probability of picking an odd number
= 5/10= 1/2
Probability of picking another odd number without replacement is 4/9
Probability that both numbers are odd = 1/2 × 4/9 =2/9
