An integer is chosen between $70$ and $100$. Find the probability that it is divisible by $7$.


Given: An integer is chosen between $70$ and $100$.

To do: To find the probability that it is divisible by $7$.

Solution:

Let the event of choosing a number which divisible by $7$ be $“E”$.

Numbers between $70$ & $100$ which are divisible by $7$ are as follows: $[77,\ 84,\ 91,\ 98]$  

So, total no. of favourable outcomes$=4$

Total no. of possible outcomes$=29$

$\Rightarrow$ Probability of getting a number which is divisible by $7$,

$P( E)=\frac{Total\ number\ of favourable\ outcomes}{Total\ no.\ of\ possible\ outcomes}=\frac{4}{29}$

Thus, probability of chosen number to be divisible by $7$ is $\frac{4}{29}$.
