Answer:
(3)/(10)

Explanation:

Given : Each of ten tickets is marked with a different number from 1 to 10 and put in a box.

i.e. The total number of outcomes : 10

Favorable outcomes : 2, 8, or 4

i.e. Number of favorable outcomes = 3

Now, the probability that you will draw 2, 8, or 4 is given by :-


=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}(3)/(10)
