Question
Suppose an integer from 1 through 1000 is chosen at random, find the probability that the integer is a multiple of 2 or a multiple of 9.

Answer

Number of multiples of 2 in 1 to 1000 are 500 Number of multiples of 9 in 1 to 1000 are 111 Out of 111, 55 are even numbers. So total favorables number are 500 + 56 = 556 Probability that integer is a multiple of 2 or a multiple of 9 $=\frac{556}{1000}=0.556$
