Question

A positive integere was chosen and divided by 7 what is the probability of getting remainder 1

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If any positive integer is divided by 7, the possible remainders are : 0,1,2,3,4,5,6 ( Equally likely )

So total possible outcomes are 7 .

and favourable outcomes are 1,

P( E ) = Favourable outcomes / Total possible outcomes

         = 1 / 7

So the probability of getting remainder 1 will be 1/7.
