Choose a random number
between 1 and 20. What is
the probability that the
number is greater than 5
and less than 15
Oh

Answer :

There is 20 numbers total. Between 5 and 15, there is 10 numbers. But to be greater than 5 you’d count 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 to still be less than 15. This means there is 9 numbers out of 20 that could fit within your numerical range. This is written as 9/20, 0.45 or 45%

If it’s greater than 5 and less than 15 with those numbers included then it would be 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15. This would be written as 11/20, 0.55 or 55%


I hope this helps.

The probability that the number is greater than 5 and less than 15 is 0.45 or 45%

What is probability?

It is defined as the ratio of the number of favourable outcomes to the total number of outcomes, in other words, the probability is the number that shows the happening of the event.

Total number of outcomes = 20

The number is greater than 5 and less than 15 = 9 (not included 5 and 15)

Total favourable outcomes = 9

Probability = 9/20 = 0.45 or 45%

Thus, the probability that the number is greater than 5 and less than 15 is 0.45 or 45%
