i think 150 is the answer

Explanation:

150 is a 3 digit numbers (as written in question (a)) and is a multiple of 5 and 3

150/5 = 30

(a) There are 101 integers between 50 and 150 (including 50 and 150 themselves). Out of these, 50 integers are two-digit numbers (50 to 99) and 51 integers are three-digit numbers (100 to 150). Therefore, it is slightly more likely to draw a three-digit number than a two-digit number.

(b) To find the number of integers between 50 and 150 that are multiples of 3, we can count the number of integers that leave a remainder of 0 when divided by 3. The first multiple of 3 in this range is 51 and the last multiple of 3 is 150, so there are (150-51)/3 + 1 = 34 multiples of 3 in this range.

To find the number of integers between 50 and 150 that are multiples of 5, we can count the number of integers that leave a remainder of 0 when divided by 5. The first multiple of 5 in this range is 50 and the last multiple of 5 is 150, so there are (150-50)/5 + 1 = 21 multiples of 5 in this range.

Therefore, it is more likely to draw a multiple of 3 than a multiple of 5 from the given range of consecutive integers.
