Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The multiples of 2 between 1 and 15 are
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14
The multiples of 5 are
5, 10, 15
So, there are seven multiples of 2 and three multiples of 5.
The probability of getting a multiple of 2 is
[tex]P=\frac{7}{15}= 0.47 (or \ 47\%)[/tex]
The probability of getting a multiple of 5 is
[tex]P=\frac{3}{15}=0.2 (or \ 20\%)[/tex]
Now, the probability of getting a multiple of 2 or 5 is
[tex]P=0.47+0.20=0.67 (or \ 67\%)[/tex]
Therefore, the answer is 67%.
Remember that the probability of one event happening OR another event happening is the sum of the probabilities of those events.
