Question
Bola choose at random a number between 1 and 300. What is the probability that the number is divisible by 4?Options
A) \(\frac{1}{4}\)
B) \(\frac{4}{4}\)
C) \(\frac{6}{4}\)
D) \(\frac{7}{4}\)
The correct answer is A.
Explanation:
Numbers divisible by 4 between 1 and 300 include 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 e.t.c. To get the number of figures divisible by 4, We solve by method of A.P
Let x represent numbers divisible by 4, nth term = a + (n - 1)d
a = 4, d = 4
Last term = 4 + (n - 1)4
288 = 4 + 4n - n
= \(\frac{288}{4}\)
= 72
rn(Note: 288 is the last Number divisible by 4 between 1 and 300)
Prob. of x = \(\frac{72}{288}\)
= \(\frac{1}{4}\)
