The given set of number which computer randomly selects are 18, 47, 51, 60, 63, 65.

The question is asking us to find the probability that a number greater than 50 is elected.

The numbers which are greater than 50 are 51, 60, 63, 65.There are four numbers in all.

Total numbers are 6.

Probability of an event is the ratio of the number of observations of the event to the total numbers of the observations .An outcome is the result of a single trial of an experiment.

Probability that a number greater than 50 is elected =
(4)/(6) =(2)/(3)
