Solution

- Probability of an event A is defined by:


P(A)=\frac{\text{Number of outcomes of A}}{\text{Sample Space}}

- Randomly choosing multiples of 5 between 21 and 49, we have:


25,30,35,40,45

-There are 5 numbers in total. This means that the Number of Outcomes is 5.

- Between 21 and 49, there are 29 numbers. This represents the Sample Space.

- Thus, we can proceed to find the probability of choosing a multiple of 5 between 21 and 49 as follows:


P(21\le\text{ multiples of 5 }\le49)=\frac{\text{Multiples of 5 between 21 and 49}}{\text{Total number of values from 21 to 49}}=(5)/(29)

Final Answer

The answer is


(5)/(29)
