Solution

The probability of an event is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of outcomes.

Step 1: Identify the total number of outcomes. In this case, there are 10 cards, so there are 10 possible outcomes.

Step 2: Identify the number of favorable outcomes. The letters from L to Q are L, M, N, O, P, Q. So, there are 6 favorable outcomes.

Step 3: Calculate the probability. The probability is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes.

So, the probability of choosing a letter from L to Q is 6/10 or 0.6.
