If U = {x : x is an integer and 1≤ x ≤ 20 E1 = {x : x is a multiple of 3} E2 = {x : x is a multiple of 4} and an integer is picked at random from U, find the probability that it is not in E2

A.

3/4

B.

3/10

C.

1/4

D.

1/20

Correct Answer: 3/4

Explanation

U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5,..., 20} E1 = {3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18} E2 = {4, 8, 12, 16, 20} P(E1) = 5/20 P(not E1) = 1 - (5/20) = 15/20 = 3/4

U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5,..., 20} E1 = {3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18} E2 = {4, 8, 12, 16, 20} P(E1) = 5/20 P(not E1) = 1 - (5/20) = 15/20 = 3/4
