Numbers from 1-15. The sample space:


\implies S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15}


\implies n(S) = 15

Let A be the event that number selected randomly from the numbers 1 to 15.

Event A:

Odd numbers from 1-15. The sample space:


\implies A = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15}


\implies n(A) = 8

Now, as we know that;


\star \: {\underline{\boxed{\frak{\pmb{\quad Probability \: p(A) = (n(A))/(n(S)) }}}}}

Placing values,


\implies\sf{p(A) = (n(A))/(n(S)) }


\implies\sf{p(A) = (8)/(15) } \: \red \star
