Question

How do you find the probability?

Answer 1

1/6

Answer 2

.17

Answer 3

.17 is incorrect...what does 1/6 come to?

Answer 4

there are 6 odd numbers between 10 and 22. so the chance you picking an odd number from that is 1/6 which is .17

Answer 5

your right about the 6 odd numbers, but to get the probability of picking an odd number it would be 6/13, because there are 13 numbers from 10 to 22.

Answer 6

6/13 = .461
rounded to the nearest hundredth would be .46

Answer 7

Oo I thought he was talking about just picking an odd number from the odd numbers... i didn't know he meant from 10-22(even+odd) then you'd be right.
