The probability of selecting a number not divisible by 3 is: 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two methods to solve the question.

  1. We can find the probability of numbers not divisible by 3
  2. We can find the probability of numbers divisible by 3 and then find the complement of it

We will use the second method:

Given:

There are 24 slips

S = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24}

n(S) = 24

Let A be the event that the slip number is divisible by 3

Then

A = {3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24}

n(A) = 8

The probability of number divisible by 3 is:

P(A) = \frac{n(A)}{n(S)}\\=\frac{8}{24}\\=\frac{1}{3}

The sum of the probability of an event's occurrence and non-occurrence is 1. So the probability of numbers divisible by 3 will be subtracted from 1 to find the probability of selecting a number not divisible by 3.

The probability of selecting a number not divisible by 3 will be:

=1-\frac{1}{3}\\=\frac{3-1}{3}\\=\frac{2}{3}

The probability of selecting a number not divisible by 3 is: 2/3

Answer:

use Pythagoras theorem formula   C^{2} = A^{2} + B^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

C^{2} =  24^{2} + 18^{2}

C^{2}  = 576 + 324

C^{2} = 900

C = \sqrt{900}

C = 30

Does that make sense?  :|
