The chances of you finding a number divisible by 4 is 1/4 (because out of every four numbers, 1 of them is divisible by 4), and a 1/3 chance of finding a number divisible by 3 (see above). If we add them up, we get the chance, 1/4+1/3= 3/12+4/12.

Now this would be saying that finding numbers that would be divisible by 12 (the ones divisible by 3 AND 4) would count twice, and we don't want that. To counter this, we have to subtract the chances of you finding a multiple of 12 once (so that the chances of finding the multiple of 12 would count ONCE).

This translates to 3/12+4/12-1/12=6/12=1/2.

What is the probability that a random selected number from 20 to 30 is divisible by 3 and then divisible by 12 after replacing first?

To find the probability of selecting a number from 20 to 30 that is divisible by 3, we first identify the numbers in that range: 21, 24, 27, and 30. There are four suitable candidates, so the probability of selecting one of them is 4 out of 11 (the total numbers from 20 to 30, inclusive). After replacing the selected number, we check which of these are divisible by 12. Among the numbers listed, only 24 is divisible by 12. Therefore, the probability of selecting a number divisible by 3 and then finding it divisible by 12 is 1 out of 11, which simplifies to approximately 0.0909 or 9.09%.

What is the probability that a year selected at random is a leap year with explanation?

The probability is very close to 0.25 A year is a leap year if the number is divisible by 4 - except if the number is divisible by 100 it is not a leap year - except if the number is divisible by 400 it is a leap year. So, in a 400-year period there are 97 leap years. The probability or relative frequency of leap years is, therefore, 97/400 = 0.2425


What is the probability that a four digit number is divisible by 2?

Even numbers are divisible by two, and half of all numbers are even, so there is a 50 percent chance that a four-digit number is divisible by two.


What is probability of rolling a number divisible by 2 on a number cube?

Well, numbers divisible by 2 are even numbers, and the even numbers from 1 to 6 are 2,4,and 6. Since there are 3 out of 6 even numbers on a number cube, there is a probability 1/2 to roll an even number on a number cube.
