The numbers 1 to 12 inclusive areplaced in a hat. John takes anumber out of the bag at random.What is the probability it is an oddnumber?

Answer»

\pink { Number \:of \: total \: possible \: outcomes}

= Numbers \: placed \: in \:a \:hat

= 12 \: --(1)

Favourable\:outcomes

= \{ 1,3,5,7,9,11\}

\blue { Number \:of \: favourable \: outcomes} = 6\:--(2)

\orange { Probability ( an \:odd \: number )}

= \frac{(2)}{(1)}

= \frac{6}{12}

= \frac{1}{2}

THEREFORE.,

\red{ Probability ( an \:odd \: number )}\green { =\frac{1}{2}}
