Question

There are 4 pieces of paper, numbered 10 to 13, in a hat. After another numbered piece of paper is added, the probability of picking a number between 10 and 13 inclusive is 4/5. Which of the following numbers could

Answer 1

Answer: The fifth piece of paper could have any number 9 and less or 14 and greater.

Step-by-step explanation: The list of choices is not given in the question, but it makes sense that the new number would not be a duplicate of any of the numbers 10, 11, 12, 13. Otherwise that would change the probability to 5/5.

So any other number could be a possibility.
