Numbers 1 to 10 are written on ten separate slips (one number on one slip), kept in a box and mixed well. One slip is chosen from the box without looking into it. What is the probability of: (ii) getting a number less than 6?

(ii) Numbers which are less than 6 are 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. So total there are five numbers. Thus, there are 5 outcomes.

Therefore, the probability of getting a number less than 6 = 5/10 = ½



Thanks
