Question

PLEASE!! I NEED HELP

8, 9, 14, 19, 25, 34, 38

a number is to be chosen at random from the list above. what is the probability that the number chosen will be a multiple of 3?

a. 1/7
b. 1/5
c. 1/4
d. 1/2

Answer 1

Option A,
`(1)/(7)`

Explanation:

Step 1: Determine the numbers that are multiples of 3

8 → Not a multiple of 3

9 → Multiple of 3

14 → Not a multiple of 3

19 → Not a multiple of 3

25 → Not a multiple of 3

34 → Not a multiple of 3

38 → Not a multiple of 3

Step 2: Determine the probability of chosing a multiple of 3

Since we only have 1 number that is a multiple of 3 out of the 7 given numbers, that means that we do the following:

`((1\ multiple\ of\ 3))/(7\ total\ numbers)`

`(1)/(7)`

Answer: Option A,
`(1)/(7)`
