Answer 1

The probability that a number selected at random from the numbers 1, 2, 3, ....., 15 is a multiple of 4 is `underlinebb(1/5)`.

Explanation:

Number of multiples of 4 between 1 to 15 are:

4, 8, 12 i.e., n(E) = 3

∴ Probability (a number selected from numbers 1, 2, .... 15 is a multiple of 4)
