Answer:
The probability is 40%
Explanation:
a) There are ten pieces of paper with ten numbers
Probability of selecting four pieces of paper = 4/10 or 40%
Probability that the four numbers selected will have a sum greater than 82 = 82/205 = 40%
Therefore, the probability of selecting four numbers that have a sum greater than 82 out of ten numbers totalling 205 is 40%.
b) Probability is the ratio of the number of outcomes favourable for the event to the total number of possible outcomes. In other words, it is a measure of the likelihood of an event (or measure of chance).
