Question

A random two digit number (10-99) is drawn. Find P(odd number)

Answer 1

P(odd number) = 0.5

Explanation:

There are 90 members in the set (10, 11, 12, .. , 97, 98, 99)

When we have an even number of consecutive numbers, the number of even numbers equals the number of odd numbers. This means that half of the numbers in this set are even and half of them are odd.

So the probability of P(odd number) = 0.5
