Answer 2

Given:

Bag containing tickets numbered = 1 to 40.

To Find:

Probability of selected ticket having number which is a 5 multiple

Solution:

Total number of outcomes = 40

Outcomes which are multiples of 5 will be - 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40.

Thus, total events will be = 8

Probability = Number of events / Total outcomes

= 8/40

= 1/5

Answer: Probability of selected ticket having number which is a 5 multiple is 1/5.
