Question

1,2,3,4,5 what is probability that an even number will be chosen?

Answer 1

Explanation:

step 1

100%/the total number = percent for one probability

100/5 = 20%

2 and 4 is even.

total even number * percent for one probability = total percent for even number

20% * 2 = 40%

therefore total even number is 40%

Answer 2

The probability is:

2/5

Explanation:

Remember the formula for probability:

`\boxed{\!\!\boxed{\bold{Probability=(Favourable~outcome)/(total~outcomes)\quad}}\!\!}`

In this case, the favourable outcome (an even number) is 2, because there are only 2 even numbers in the set.

As for the total outcomes, there are 5 of them, because we have 5 numbers total.

So the probability of choosing an even number is 2/5.
