There are 25 cards from which one card is drawn.
Total number of elementary events = n(S) = 25
(i) From number 1 to 25, there are 8 number which are multiple of 3 i.e. {3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24},
Favorable number of events = n(E) = 8
Probability of selecting a card with a multiple of 3 = n(E)/n(S) = 8/25
(ii) From number 1 to 25, there are 5 number which are multiple of 5 i.e. {5, 10, 15, 20, 25}
Favorable number of events = n(E) = 5
Probability of selecting a card with a multiple of 5 = n(E)/n(S) = 5/25 = 1/5
(iii) From number 1 to 25, there is one number which are multiple of 3 and 5 i.e. {15}
Favorable number of events = n(E) = 1
Probability of selecting a card with a multiple of 3 and 5 = n(E)/n(S) = 1/25
(iv) From number 1 to 25, there are 12 numbers which are multiple of 3 or 5 i.e. {3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 21, 24, 25}
Favorable number of events = n(E) = 12
Probability of selecting a card with a multiple of 3 or 5 = n(E)/n(S) = 12/25
