How do you find out what the probability of a random integer being a multiple of 6?
I know it is 1/6 but how would I calculate to find out?
Thanks.
It’s a little weird.
If you think about it, a multiple of 6 appears every 6 integers on the number line right?
You can think of the problem this way:
“If you picked a random integer from the number line, what’s the probability that it’s a multiple of 6?”
Since every 6th integer is a multiple of 6, we can say this is \frac{1}{6}.
