Question

A computer randomly selects a number from the given set. {2, 4, 6, 9, 16, 44, 51, 60, 78} What is the probability that a number less than 10 is selected? Enter your answer as a fraction, in simplest form, in the box. P(< 10) =

Answer 1

You would find the probability of getting an answer less than 10 by counting all of the possible outcomes, or numbers that are less than 10 and compare them to the total number of possible outcomes, or the total number of numbers. You would write the ratio of predicted outcomes to total possibilities.

The answer would be 4/9.
