Question

What is the probability of choosing a number 1 - 10 that is greater than 5 or even?

Answer 1

Answer:

70%

Step-by-step explanation:

So, first, our set of choices is 10. This means that there are 10 choices.

We want a number that is greater than 5 or even. Thus, let's mark down all of our choices.

Numbers greater than 5 are:

6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.

Even numbers are:

2, 4, 6, 8, 10.

However, we already counted 6, 8, and 10 previously, so we'll ignore that.

All in all, the following numbers will satisfy our requirements:

2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.

This is 7 out of 10 numbers.

Therefore, our probability is:

$7/10=70\%$
