An integer is chosen at random from the first 50 integers. What is the probability that the integer is neither divisible by 5 nor 9?

Options

  1. A7/107/10
  2. B18/2518/25
  3. C37/5037/50
  4. D19/2519/25

Correct answer

B. 18/2518/25

Step-by-step solution

Total number of integers in the sample space, n(S)=50n(S) = 50.

Let AA be the event that the chosen integer is divisible by 55, and BB be the event that it is divisible by 99.

The number of integers divisible by 55 is n(A)=10n(A) = 10.

The number of integers divisible by 99 is n(B)=5n(B) = 5.

The number of integers divisible by both 55 and 99 (i.e., divisible by 4545) is n(A∩B)=1n(A \cap B) = 1.

The number of integers divisible by either 55 or 99 is given by:

n(A∪B)=n(A)+n(B)−n(A∩B)=10+5−1=14n(A \cup B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A \cap B) = 10 + 5 - 1 = 14

The number of integers neither divisible by 55 nor 99 is:

n(A′∩B′)=n(S)−n(A∪B)=50−14=36n(A' \cap B') = n(S) - n(A \cup B) = 50 - 14 = 36

The required probability is:

P(A′∩B′)=3650=1825P(A' \cap B') = \dfrac{36}{50} = \dfrac{18}{25}

Answer: 18/2518/25
