Question

A number between 1 and 15

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability is 0.20 or 20%

Explanation:

we know that

The probability of an event is the ratio of the size of the event space to the size of the sample space.  

The size of the sample space is the total number of possible outcomes  

The event space is the number of outcomes in the event you are interested in.  

so  

Let

x------> size of the event space

y-----> size of the sample space  

so

$P=\frac{x}{y}$

In this problem we have  that

Multiple of 5 between 1 and 15 = 5, 10,15

so

$x=3$

Total numbers between 1 and 15=15

so

$y=15$

substitute

$P=\frac{3}{15}=0.20$

Convert to percentage

$P=0.20(100)=20\%$
