Question

If the numbers 1 through 10 are each on a piece of paper and place in a bucket, then one is drawn randomly, find theprobability of selecting an odd number. That is,P(odd). A.5B.1/2C.0D.3/5

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these numbers: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}. That's 10 numbers

The odd numbers are: {1, 3, 5, 7, 9}. That's 5 numbers.

The probability of selecting an odd number is:

`P(\text{odd)}=\frac{\text{ \# odd numbers}}{\text{ \# total numbers}}=(5)/(10)=(1)/(2)`

Answer:

B. 1/2
