Bola chooses at random a number from 1 to 300. What is the probability that the number is divisible by 4?

Worked solution (try it first)
  1. There are 300 equally likely numbers.
  2. The multiples of 4 from 1 to 300 are 4,8,…,3004, 8, \ldots, 300, and 300÷4=75300 \div 4 = 75 of them.
  3. So the probability is 75300=14\frac{75}{300} = \frac14, option B.
