Question -

Tickets numbered from 1 to 20 are mixed up together and then a ticket is drawn at random. What is the probability that the ticket has a number which is a multiple of 3 or 7?



Answer -

Given: Numberedtickets from 1 to 20.

By using the formula,

P (E) = favourableoutcomes / total possible outcomes

To find theprobability of the ticket drawn having a number which is a multiple of 3 or 7.

We know that, oneticket is drawn from a lot of mixed number.

Total possibleoutcomes are

n (S) = 20C=20

Let E be the event ofgetting ticket which has number that is multiple of 3 or 7

E ={3,6,9,12,15,18,7,14}

n (E) = 8

P (E) = n (E) / n (S)

= 8 / 20

= 2/5
