Question

A 10 sided die is rolled. Find the probability of rolling an odd number. The set of equally likely outcomes is shown below: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10?

1) 1/10
2) 2/10
3) 3/10
4) 4/10

Answer 1

The probability of rolling an odd number on a 10-sided die is 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability of rolling an odd number on a 10-sided die, we need to determine the number of favorable outcomes (odd numbers) and the total number of possible outcomes.

The favorable outcomes are 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. The total number of possible outcomes is 10 since there are 10 numbers on the die.

Therefore, the probability of rolling an odd number is 5/10, which can be simplified to 1/2.
