Question

Storage units are numbered 1 through 50. What is the probability that the operator will choose a unit that is not a multiple of 8?

Answer 1

22/25

Multiples of 8 betwen 1 - 50 =

8

16

24

32

40

48

there are 6 multiples of 8

Numbers that are not multiples of 8 = 50 - 6 = 44

Probability the operator will choose a unit that is not a multiple of 8 = 44/50

Expressing in simpler terms = 22/25
