Malik randomly picked two numbers from 1 to 9 (Includin 1 and 9). the same number could be picked more than once. The first of t

Response:

2/9 = 0.22

Clarification:

There are two ways to select the first number that is odd and less than 5: 1 and 3.

For each of these, the second number drawn can be any of the values from 1 to 9, giving us a total of 18 options.

Out of these, the only pairs that result in a sum less than 5 are (1,1), (1,2), (1,3), and (3,1). Thus we have 4 combinations from the total of 18:

4/18 = 2/9 = 0.22
