Verified by Experts

We have 20 cards numbered from 1 to 20, one card is drawn at random
`∴n(s)=""^20(C_1)=20`
(i) Let E be the event that the number on the drawn cards is multiple of 4
`∴E={4,8,12,16,20}`
∴n(E)=5
∴P(E)=`5/(20)=1/4`
(ii) Let E be the event that the number on the drawn card is not the multiple of 4
∴P(E')=1−P(E)
