Question

given numbers 1 to 50, what is the probability of selecting a number divisible by 5

Answer 1

Answer:

probability =  10/50=1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Total numbers in 1 to 50 $=50$

Sample space size$=50$

The number divisible by 5 in 1 to 50 are,

$5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50$

Possible outcome (numbers are between 1 to 50 divisible by 5)$=10$

Probability of selecting a number divisible by 5$=\frac{Possible\ outcome}{Total \ outcome}$

$=\frac{10}{50}$  

$=\frac{1}{5}$
