Answer:
So, the probability is P=2/3.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the numbers 1–24 written on slips of paper. If you choose one slip at random, what is the probability that you will NOT select a number which is divisible by 3.
It actually means: How likely are we to choose a number not divisible by 3.
In integers 1 to 24, the following numbers are divisible by 3:
3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24
So there are 8 numbers in total.
So, 16 numbers not divisible by 3.
We get
[tex]P=\frac{16}{24}\\\\P=\frac{2}{3}\\[/tex]
So, the probability is P=2/3.
