SOLUTION

Since they are 10 cards, the total possible outcome is 10.

There are five cards bearing even numbers. These are 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10


\begin{gathered} \text{Probability = }\frac{n\text{umber of outcomes}}{\text{total possible outcomes }} \\ \\ \text{Probability = }\frac{5}{10\text{ }} \\ \\ \text{= }(1)/(2) \end{gathered}
