Answer 2

Answer:

Probability of getting the multiple of 5 is 1/5.

Given:

A number is chosen at random among the first 100 natural numbers.

To Find:

Find the probability that the number chosen being a multiple of 5

solution:

Natural Numbers:

Natural numbers are a part of the number system which includes all the positive integers from 1 till infinity and are also used for counting purpose. It does not include zero (0). In fact, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9…., are also called counting numbers.

Number multiple of 5 = 5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55,60,65,70,75,80,85,90,95,100

these are 20 numbers.

So the probability of getting the multiple of 5 = 20/100

=1/5
