Question

10 cards are numbered from to 10 and placed in a box. One card is selected at random and is not replaced. Another card is then randomly selected. What is the probability of selecting two numbers that are less than 6?

Answer 1

since there is 5 numbers less than 6, the first time it will be 5/10 or 1/2 and then they dont get replaced meaning that the second time it is 4/9 which then when they are multiplied it is 1/2*4/9 which is 4/18 or 2/9 so the answer is 2/9
