The even numbers in the box is 2 and 4. So
[tex]n(x)=2[/tex]The total possible outcomes are 1,2,3,4, 5. So,
[tex]n(T)=5[/tex]The formula for the probability is,
[tex]P=\frac{n(x)}{n(T)}[/tex]Substitute the values in the formula to obtain the probabiliy for the even number.
[tex]P=\frac{2}{5}[/tex]So answer is 2/5.
