Question

Andre has some tiles with numbers on them.
The tiles with number on them: 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10
He puts them in a bag and chooses without looking.

what is the probability of andre choosinga number greater than 5?

Answer 1

To find the probability of Andre choosing a number greater than 5 from the given tiles, we first need to determine the total number of tiles and the number of tiles that meet the criteria (greater than 5).

The tiles available are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10.

1. **Total number of tiles**: There are 8 tiles in total.

2. **Tiles greater than 5**: The numbers greater than 5 are 7, 8, 9, and 10. This gives us a total of 4 tiles.

Now we can calculate the probability:

\[
\text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}} = \frac{4}{8} = \frac{1}{2}
\]

Thus, the probability that Andre chooses a number greater than 5 is \(\frac{1}{2}\) or 50%.
