Answer:


(1)/(6)

Explanation:

If there are 12 pages in a book, then there are 12 possible outcomes when one opens up a book. There are only two possibilities when a person opens up either 9 or 11. Probability is;


(wanted-outcomes)/(total-outcomes)

Wanted-comes = 2

total-outcomes = 12


(2)/(12)\\\\=(1)/(6)
