Answer:
5 / 6
Explanation:
Given that :
Sample space = {5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16}
Multiples of sample space
3 = (6, 9, 12, 15)
2 = (6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16)
Probability, p = required outcome / Total possible outcomes
Probability of picking a number which is a multiple of 2 or 3
P(multiple of 2) = 6 / 12 = 1/2
P(multiple of 3) = 4 / 12 = 1 /3
P(multiple of 2) or P(multiple of 3)
P(multiple of 2) + P(multiple of 3)
1/2 + 1/3
= (3 + 2) / 6
= 5/6
