Question

Each of the numbers 1-9 is written on a different golf ball. the ten golf balls are put in a paper bag. If one of the golf balls is selected at random from the bag, find the probability that the number selected is greater then 5

Answer 1

First of all you have numbers 1-9 and 10 golf balls... we will have to get that straightened out first.

Answer 2

i don't know thats the question. i am assuming its a typo

Answer 3

go with 9 golf balls total

Answer 4

I would say then 1-10 are written... let's go with that.

So.. how many are greater than 5

Answer 5

oops the numbers are 0-10 my typo

Answer 6

Probability is the outcome in question divided by all the possible outcomes.
How many golf balls have numbers greater than five? That's the number on top (numerator). How many golf balls are there in all? That's the number on the bottom (denominator).

Answer 7

4/10

Answer 8

its that simple

Answer 9

0 - 10 doesn't solve the problem though; that's 11 numbers

Answer 10

I would say 5/10 because I think they meant for it to be 1-10 which would then be 1/2

Answer 11

0-9 so sorry hard to have 2 pages up

Answer 12

so 4/10

Answer 13

which then you divide 4 by 10 right?

Answer 14

If you say 4/10 assuming 0 - 9 then you reduce that fraction.

Probability is usually written as fractions.

2/5 so it will happen 2 out of every 5 times you do it.
