Answer:

1/2

Explanation:

p(event) = (number of desired outcomes)/(total number of outcomes)

How many different outcomes are there? You can choose 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10, so the total number of possible outcomes is 10.

How many outcomes are desired. The desired outcomes are any outcomes with a number 6 or higher. Which numbers are 6 or higher? 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. There are 5 outcomes that are 6 or higher, so there are 5 desired outcomes.

p(event) = (number of desired outcomes)/(total number of outcomes)

p(event) = 5/10 = 1/2

Answer: 1/2
