Q:

Tickets are numbered from 1 to 18 are mixed up together and then 9 tickets are drawn at random. Find the probability that the ticket has a number, which is a multiple of 2 or 3.

A) 1/3 B) 3/5
C) 2/3 D) 5/6
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 2/3

Explanation:

S = { 1, 2, 3, 4, .....18 } 

=> n(S) = 18

 

E1 = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18}

=> n(E1) = 9

 

E2 = {3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 }

=> n(E2) = 6

 

 E3 =E1∩E2={6, 12, 18} 

=> n(E3) = 3

 

∴E=E1 ∪ E2 = E1+E2-E3 

=> n(E) = 9 + 6 - 3 =12

 where E = { 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18 }

 

∴P(E)=n(E)n(S)=1218=23
