Given:
75 to 100
Determine the probability of picking an odd number from 75 to 100.
Solution:
In order to determine the probability, we must first determine how many odd numbers are there in 75 to 100.
The odd numbers from 75 to 100 are;
77, 79, 81, 83, 85, 87, 91, 95, 97
There are 9 odd numbers from 75 to 100.
Now we need to divide 9 by 25 since 100 minus 75 is 25.
= 9/25
= 0.36
Since we are given a decimal answer, in order to convert it into percentage, we multiply the decimal by 100. Hence, in converting a percentage into decimal, we divide the percentage by 100.
= (0.36)(100)
=36%
Final answer:
The probability of picking an odd number from 75 to 100 is 36%.
