A ticket is drawn at random from a bag containing tickets numbered from 1 to 40. Find the probability that the selected ticket has a number which is a multiple of 5.

Given:


Total number of tickets = 40


Let A be the event of selecting the ticket which is numbered as a multiple of 5.


Numbers which are multiple of 5 are 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40.


Therefore, number of tickets that falls under event A = 8


Probability that the ticket selected is a multiple of 5 =



= 8/40


= 1/5
