Answer:

2/10

Explanation:

This has to deal with probability.

If you are going to choose a number less than 3, this makes the problem in which that 2/10 of the results would occur.

This is simply because the value of 1 and 2 are the only numbers smaller than 3.

Answer:

2/10

Explanation:

If you are trying to find out the probability of a number just know that the whole number is always going to be the denominator. In this problem, the denominator is 10 because that is the whole number of pieces of paper.

Then we look at the second part of the problem where it is asking us to figure out the probability of pulling out a number that is less than 3 which would only leave us with 1-2

This means that the probabilaty of pulling out a number less than 3 is 2/10
