Question

Samuel's family members are choosing numbers to see in what order they will choose gifts. The numbers 1 through 10 are written on pieces of paper. All numbers are equally likely to be chosen. What is the probability that the first person chooses a number less than 3? O A. 10 3 B. 10 2 C. 2 10 O D. 3 10

Answer 1

`\text{Probability}=(2)/(10)`

Explanation:

Probability is represented by the following expression:

`=\frac{\text{Number of ways it can occur}}{Total\text{ number of outcomes}}`

Then, since there are 2 numbers less than 3:

`\text{Probability}=(2)/(10)`
