2. a number of 2 different digits is to be formed from the digits 1, 2 ,3, 4, and 5. determine the probability of each of the following events:
a. the no. is odd
# of ways to succeed: 5*3 = 15
# of random outcomes: 5*5 = 25
Ans: 15/25 = 3/5
-----------------------------------
b. no is greater than 25
# of ways to succeed: 2*5 = 10
# of random outcomes: 5*5 = 25
Ans: 10/25 = 2/5
