10 red cards numbered 1-10.
One card drawn at random.
a) The probability of drawing a 10.
P(10)=number of 10 cards/number of total cards=1/10
.
.
.
b) The probability of drawing 1 or 2 or ... or 9 or 10.
P(1 or 2 or ... or 9 or 10)=P(1)+P(2)+...+P(9)+P(10)
P(1 or 2 or ... or 9 or 10)=1/10+1/10+...+1/10+1/10
P(1 or 2 or ... or 9 or 10)=1
.
.
.
c)P(1 or 10)=P(1)+P(10)=1/10+1/10=2/10=1/5
.
.
.
d) P(100)=number of 100 cards/number of total cards=0/10=0
