Question

A bowl of raffle tickets contains the numbers 1 through 60. What is the probability that a randomly selected ticket will be a number that is not a multiple of 7

Answer 1

Answer:

$Probability = \frac{13}{15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Ticket Numbers = 1 to 60

Required

Determine the probability of not selecting multiples of 7

First, we need to list out the multiples of 7 in this range:

$Multiple = 7,14,21,28,35,42,49,56$

These are 8 in numbers. So, there are 8 multiples

Next, is that we determine the number of non multiples of 7. This s calculated as:

$Non\ Multiples = 60 - 8$

$Non\ Multiples = 52$

The required probability is then calculated as:

$Probability = \frac{Non\ Multiples}{Total}$

$Probability = \frac{52}{60}$

$Probability = \frac{13}{15}$
