A number is chosen at random from the set (1 ,2,3
....,9, 10). What is the probability that the number
is greater than or equal to 7?
Answer Details
There are 10 numbers in the set (1, 2, 3, ..., 9, 10). Out of these, the numbers that are greater than or equal to 7 are 7, 8, 9, and 10. So, there are 4 numbers that satisfy the given condition.
Therefore, the probability of choosing a number that is greater than or equal to 7 is the number of numbers that satisfy the condition divided by the total number of numbers in the set, which is:
4/10 = 2/5
Hence, the probability that the number chosen at random from the set (1, 2, 3, ..., 9, 10) is greater than or equal to 7 is 2/5.
