Question

A lottery game has balls numbered 1 through 15.

What is the probability of selecting an even numbered ball or an 8?

Answer 1

Possible numbers = 2,4,6,8,10,12,14 = 7

total numbers = 15

probability = 7/15 or

46.66 percent

Answer 2

7/15.

Explanation:

Prob( even number) = 7/15 (as there are 7 even numbers from 1 to 15).

So the required probability is 7/15 + 1/15 = 7/15.
