Explanation:

a probability is always desired cases over total possible cases.

so, in this question we have 10 total possible cases (0 .. 9 as last digit of a phone number). and 1 desired case (0 as the last digit).

the corresponding 1 chance in 10 is then literally written and calculated as probability as 1/10 = 0.1
