From the numbers 1 to 50 inclusive, what is the probability of choosing a number which is
\n" ); document.write( "a) greater than 20
\n" ); document.write( "b) greater than 20 and a multiple of 5
\n" ); document.write( "————————————————————————————————————————\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "These are counting problems. For each problem, the probability is
\n" ); document.write( " (# of outcomes of interest) / (# of possible outcomes)
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a) P( an element of {21,22,…,50} is selected) = 30/50 = \"+highlight%28+3%2F5+%29+\" or 0.60 or 60%
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "b) P( an element of {25,30,35,40,45,50} is selected) = 6/50 = \"+highlight%28+3%2F25+%29+\" or 0.12 or 12% \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
