Ask a person to pick a number from 1 to 10. Question: What is the probability that a person will pick the number 7?
Solution:
We assume a random choice of a normal person, then the answer is uniformly distributed between 1 & 10.
Thus the probability that he chose 7 is 1 out of 10 equiprobable choices, thus probability
P(7)=1/10
