Nicole has a random number generator that will produce the numbers from
P(multiple of
)? Multiples of
are: , , , , and . Since there are
possible outcomes and only of those
outcomes are multiples of ten, what is the probability of
getting a multiple of? P(~
)? The random number generator only produces numbers from
through . So what is the probability of not getting ? P(~multiple of
)? Some multiples of
are: , , , , . Find the rest of
the multiples ofbetween and . There are
multiples of between and . So what is the
probability of NOT getting any of thesenumbers? P(one-digit number)?
How many one-digit numbers are between
and ? The only one-digit numbers are
through . So what is the
probability of getting a one-digit number?
