question 8 of 25
kellie randomly chooses a number from 1 to 10. what is the probability she chooses a number less than 3?

a. $\frac{1}{5}$
b. $\frac{2}{9}$
c. $\frac{3}{10}$
d. $\frac{4}{5}$

Explanation:

Step1: Determine total number of outcomes

Total numbers from \(1\) to \(10\) is \(n = 10\).

Step2: Determine favorable outcomes

Numbers less than \(3\) are \(1\) and \(2\), so \(m=2\).

Step3: Calculate probability

Probability formula \(P=\frac{m}{n}\), substituting \(m = 2\) and \(n = 10\), we get \(P=\frac{2}{10}=\frac{1}{5}\).

Answer:

A. \(\frac{1}{5}\)
