Question

Andre has some tiles with numbers on them, as shown. He puts them in a bag and chooses one without looking.

What is the probability of Andre choosing a number greater than 5?

0
greater than 0 and less than 1/2
1/2
greater than 1/2 and less than 1

Answer 1

1/2

Explanation:

The numbers are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10

We see that only 7, 8, 9, and 10 are greater than 5

So, 4 possible numbers are greater than 5 in the total of 8 numbers. the probability is 4/8 = 1/2 the answer is 1/2.
