Answer:
[tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] or 0.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Number of yellow tickets = 5
Number of green tickets = 5
Total number of tickets = 5 + 5 = 10
Required:
Find the probability that a randomly picked ticket is green or has a number greater than 4
Use the formula:
P = probability of green tickets + probability of yellow tickets with numbers greater than 4
Yellow tickets with numbers greater than 4 = 1 ticket
Probability of picking a green ticket = [tex] \frac{5}{10} = \frac{1}{2} [/tex]
Probability of picking a yellow ticket with number greater than 4 = [tex]\frac{1}{10}[/tex]
Therefore, probability that a randomly picked ticket is green or has a number greater than 4
= [tex]\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{10} = \frac{6}{10}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{3}{5}[/tex]
Probability that a randomly picked ticket is green or has a number greater than 4 = [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] or 0.6
