Q. {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}The probability of rolling an even number on a 10 -sided die is □.(Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)
Identify Total Number: Identify the total number of possible outcomes when rolling a 10-sided die. Since the die has 10 sides, each with a different number from 1 to 10, there are 10 possible outcomes.
Identify Favorable Outcomes: Identify the number of favorable outcomes for rolling an even number.The even numbers on the die are 2,4,6,8, and 10. There are 5 even numbers.
Calculate Probability: Calculate the probability of rolling an even number. The probability P of an event is given by P=Total number of possible outcomesNumber of favorable outcomes. So, the probability of rolling an even number is P=105.
Simplify Fraction: Simplify the fraction obtained in Step 3.105 simplifies to 21, since both the numerator and the denominator can be divided by 5.
