Beyond the Answer
To find the probability of choosing a letter from \( L \) to \( Q \), we first identify the letters in that range from the box of cards: \( L, M, N, O, P, Q \). There are 6 letters in total. Next, we know there are 10 cards in total. The probability of drawing one of the favorable letters is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total outcomes: \[ \text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}} = \frac{6}{10} = \frac{3}{5} \] So, the probability of choosing a letter from \( L \) to \( Q \) is \( \frac{3}{5} \).
