Question

An integer is chosen at random between 1 to 100 find the probability that it is divisible by 8 or not divisibke by 8

Answer 1

In the question it is Given that the numbers are "between 1 and 100", we should exclude both 1 and 100.So we are left with 98 numbers.

i) Total numbers BETWEEN 1 and 100 are 98
Total Number of Outcomes= 98
Number divisible by 8 are : 8,16,24,32,49,48,56,64,72,80,88,96
Number of favourable outcomes = 12
Probability = Number of favourable outcomes / Total number of outcomes
Probability (divisible by 8) = 12/98 = 6/49
P((divisible by 8) = 6/49

ii) Number not divisible by 8 are : 98 -12 = 86
Number of favourable outcomes = 86
Probability = Number of favourable outcomes / Total number of outcomes
Probability (not divisible by 8) = 86/98 = 43/49
P((not divisible by 8) = 43/49

Answer 2

Solution :-

Total number of integers between 1 and 100 = 98 

1 and 100 are excluded because it is given in the question that an integer is chosen between 1 and 100.

Total number of outcomes = 98

Total number of favourable outcomes = Numbers divisible by 8 out of 98 numbers = 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, 88, 96

= 12 integers are divisible by 8 out of 98

1) Probability (numbers divisible by 8) = 12/98

= 6/49

Numbers which are not divisible by 8 = 98 - 12

= 86

2) Probability (numbers not divisible by 8) = 86/98

= 43/49
