Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The probabilities of (i) getting a number 6 is 1/10, (ii) getting a number less than 6 is 1/2, (iii) getting a number greater than 6 is 2/5, and (iv) getting a 1-digit number is 9/10.
Detailed explanation-2: -The probability of the drawing of an even numbered slip. Solution, This is a very basic mathematical problem of probability and this can be solved by the following mathematical formula. Probability = 5/10 = ½ (By putting the values.)
Detailed explanation-3: -1/6Thus, Probability of getting a number 6 = 1/6.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hence, the probability of getting a 1 digit number is 910 .
