Probability of Even # or Mult. of 3 from 1-10

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The probability of selecting an even number or a multiple of 3 from the set of numbers 1 to 10 is calculated by identifying the relevant numbers. The even numbers in this range are 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10, while the multiples of 3 are 3, 6, and 9. The total unique outcomes that satisfy either condition are 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, and 10, resulting in a total of 7 favorable outcomes. Therefore, the probability is 7 out of 10, or 0.7.
