Step 1

Given;

Step 2

The probability of an event is given as;


P(event)=\frac{Required\text{ number of events }}{Total\text{ number of events}}
\begin{gathered} Required\text{ number of events=Yellow slice=10} \\ Total\text{ number of events= 10 slices} \end{gathered}

Thus,


P(yellow\text{ slice\rparen=}(10)/(10)=1
