Detailed Solution

Given, a number Question Image is chosen at random from the numbers -2, -1,0,1,2.
The probability of an event to be occurred is the division of the number of favourable outcomes by the total number of outcomes that is,
 Probability of an event =  Number of favourable cases   Total number of cases   
The number x can take any one out of the five given values.
The total number of possible outcomes is 5.
It is seen that x 2 <2   .
So, the number x can take the values –1, 0 and 1.
Therefore, the number of favourable outcomes is 3.
Find the required value: by using the formula of probability that is,
 Probability of an event =  Number of favourable cases   Total number of cases   Probability = 3 5   Thus, the required probability that x 2 <2 is  3 5  .
Hence, the correct option is 4.
