Question

A box contains slips having numbered 1 to 10. After mixing them, one slip is drawn from it. What is the probability that it is a even numbered slip​

Answer 1

Answer:

1 by 2

Step-by-step explanation:

There are equal numbers of even and odds

thus 5 by 10 even, 5 by 10 odd

so the probability of getting even is 1 by 2

Answer 2

Given,

There are ten slips which are numbered by 1 to 10.

One slip is drawn from that box.

To find,

The probability of the drawing of an even numbered slip.

Solution,

This is a very basic mathematical problem of probability and this can be solved by the following mathematical formula.

Probability = Number of times a particular event can occur / Total number of possible events

Here,

The particular event is the even numbered slips and there are 5 even numbered slips. (ie. 2,4,6,8,10)

So,

Number of the times a particular event can occur = 5

Total number of possible events = Total number of slips = 10

Probability = 5/10 = ½ (By putting the values.)

Hence, the probability will be ½.
