Answer:

3/10 or 30%

Explanation:

The longest, yet easiest way to do this is to find all possible numbers that fit this scenario

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

Even Numbers: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10

Greater Than 5: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

Now find common numbers in both categories

6,8, and 10

meaning the probability is 3/10 or 30%
