An integer is chosen at random from the integers $1,2,3, \ldots, 50$. The probability that the chosen integer is a multiple of atleast one of 4, 6 and 7 is
Solution
<p>Given set $=\{1,2,3, \ldots \ldots . .50\}$</p>
<p>$\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A})=$ Probability that number is multiple of 4</p>
<p>$\mathrm{P(B)}=$ Probability that number is multiple of 6</p>
<p>$\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{C})=$ Probability that number is multiple of 7</p>
<p>Now,</p>
<p>$$\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A})=\frac{12}{50}, \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B})=\frac{8}{50}, \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{C})=\frac{7}{50}$$</p>
<p>again</p>
<p>$$\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B})=\frac{4}{50}, \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B} \cap \mathrm{C})=\frac{1}{50}, \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{C})=\frac{1}{50} \\
& \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B} \cap \mathrm{C})=0
\end{aligned}$$</p>
<p>Thus</p>
<p>$$\begin{aligned}
P(A & \cup B \cup C)=\frac{12}{50}+\frac{8}{50}+\frac{7}{50}-\frac{4}{50}-\frac{1}{50}-\frac{1}{50}+0 \\
& =\frac{21}{50}
\end{aligned}$$</p>
