Question
Tickets numbered 1 to 50 are mixed up and then a ticket
drawn at random. What is the probability that the ticket drawn bears a number which is multiple of 8?Solution
S= 1, 2, 3, 4 …………….. 50 = 50 E = Event of getting the multiple of 8 = 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 & 48 ∴ P (E) = `(n (E))/(n (S))`  = `(6)/(50)`  =  `(3)/(25)`
