Question

Malik randomly picked two numbers from 1 to 9 (Includin 1 and 9). the same number could be picked more than once. The first of the two numbers hr picks is odd and less than 5. What is the probability that the sum ofbthe number malik picks is less than 5, given that the first number is odd and lessbthan 5

Answer 1

Answer:

2/9 = 0.22

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways to pick the first number odd and less than 5:  1 and 3.

With each of these, the second number drawn can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9.

This makes 18 total possibilities.

Out of these, the only ways to have a sum less than 5 are 1 and 1, 1  and 2, 1 and 3, and 3 and 1.  This is 4 ways out of 18:

4/18 = 2/9 = 0.22
