Question

The numbers 1 through 15 are written on cards. One card is chosen at random. Event A is choosing a

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

the probability is always the number of desired cases over the number of all possible cases.

in our situation we have 15 cards.

that is the total possible cases when a random card is chosen.

how many desired cases do we have ?

a number NOT a multiple of 5.

how many are there ?

it is easier to say how many numbers there are being a multiple of 5 : 5, 10, 15

so, 3 numbers out of the 15 are multiple of 5.

that means

15 - 3 = 12 numbers of the 15 are NOT multiples of 5.

so, the probability to draw a card that is not a multiple of 5 is

12/15 = 4/5 = 0.8

the information about event B and even numbers is irrelevant for the question.
