Answer

$\frac{2}{5}$

Work Step by Step

P(event)=$\frac{numberoffavorableoutcomes}{numberofpossibleoutcomes}$ There are 20 differences from the stem and leaf plot so this is the number of possible outcomes. Out of the 20, eight are less than 10 points:1, 3, 3, 3, 3,4, 7, 7 so this is the number of favorable outcomes. So, the probability is: P(less than 10 points)=$\frac{8}{20}$ -simplify- P(less than 10 points)=$\frac{2}{5}$
