Answer:

1/10

Explanation:

The probability an event will happen is the number of desired outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes.

The desired outcome is pulling out a 4. The number of desired outcomes is 1 since only 1 card contains the number 4.

The total number of possible outcomes is 10 since there are 10 different cards with numbers.

p(4) = 1/10

Answer: 1/10
