Question

List all the even numbers less than 50,

then find the probability that a number
selected at random:
a) is a multiple of 5.
b) is between 10 and 30.
c) is the number 12.
d) has its square less than 40.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Even numbers less than 50={2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22,24,26,28,30,32,34,36,38,40,42,44,46,48}

Total=24

Multiples of 5={10,20,30,40}

Probability (multiple of 5)=4/24

=1/6

P(between 10 and 30)=12,14,16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28

Total=9

Probability=9/24

=3/8

Probability is number 12

=1/24

Probability it has square less than 40

=(4,36)

Two numbers

Probability=2/24

=1/12
