Question

A number is chosen at random from 1 to 50. Find the probability of selecting
divisors of 6

Answer 1

Possible Answers:

• 8%
• 4/50
• 8/100
• 2/25

Explanation:

Probability is measured by this formula:
`\frac{favorable-outcomes} {total -outcomes}`

Solve:

Our favorable outcomes are the factors of 6:

• 6 = 1, 2, 3, 6

So we have 4 favorable outcomes

Our total outcomes are 50. They are the possible outcomes.

Now we solve:

• 
  `\frac4{50}`
• 
  `\frac8{100}`

• 8%

The probability is 8% or 4/50
