We are assuming:
1. cards are identical, and have equal probability of picking each of the 10.
2. picking of the card is completely random.

Under these circumstances,
probability =

set of successful picks = {4,5} ... there are two elements
set of possible picks = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10} ... there are 10 elements

Probability of pick a 4 or a 5 = =
