Given the numbers : 2, 3, 7, 12, 15, 22, 72,
108
We need to determine the probability of choosing a
number divisible by 2 and 3.
Let us determine which numbers
in the set are divisible by both 2 and 3.
2 ==>
divisible by 2.
3 ==> divisible by
3
7 ==>
None
12 ==> divisible
by 2 and 3
15 ==> divisible by
3
22 ==> divisible by
2
72 ==> divisible by 2
and 3.
108 ==>
divisible by 2 and 3
The bold font numbers are the numbers
divisible by both 2 and 3.
Then the probability of getting
a number that is divisible by 2 and 3 = the total number of elements divisible by 2 and
3 / total number of elements
==> P = 3 /
8
Then the probability is
3/8
