You can put this solution on YOUR website! => multiples of four
and must be an integer so there are multiple of four and they are ,,,,,,,,,
So the probability of choosing one randomly is or %
There are 40 integer numbers from 1 to 40, inclusive.
It is your sample set in your experiment.
You can choose any of these 40 numbers equally likelihood.
Of them, there are 10 integers that are multiple of 4.
It is yours "favorable" set.
The probability is the ratio of the number of "favorable" events to the total numbers of events.
In this case, the probability
P = = = = 0.25 = 25%. ANSWER
This problem is good to explain the basic conceptions of the Probability theory and
to pronounce/(to teach and to learn) the corresponding key words.
