Solution

Let's tackle each probability question one by one.

1. Probability of getting a multiple of 5

The multiples of 5 between 1 and 50 are: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50.

There are 10 multiples of 5.

The total number of cards is 50.

The probability PP is given by: P=Number of favorable outcomesTotal number of outcomesP = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}} P(multiple of 5)=1050=15=0.2P(\text{multiple of 5}) = \frac{10}{50} = \frac{1}{5} = 0.2

2. Probability of getting a number greater than 5

The numbers greater than 5 range from 6 to 50.

This is a total of: 505=4550 - 5 = 45

The probability PP is: P(number greater than 5)=4550=910=0.9P(\text{number greater than 5}) = \frac{45}{50} = \frac{9}{10} = 0.9

3. Probability of getting a multiple of 10

The multiples of 10 between 1 and 50 are: 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50.

There are 5 multiples of 10.

The probability PP is: P(multiple of 10)=550=110=0.1P(\text{multiple of 10}) = \frac{5}{50} = \frac{1}{10} = 0.1

4. Probability of getting a prime number

The prime numbers between 1 and 50 are: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, and 47.

There are 15 prime numbers.

The probability PP is: P(prime number)=1550=310=0.3P(\text{prime number}) = \frac{15}{50} = \frac{3}{10} = 0.3

5. Probability of getting a number divisible by 32

The multiples of 32 between 1 and 50 are: 32.

There is 1 multiple of 32.

The probability PP is: P(divisible by 32)=150=0.02P(\text{divisible by 32}) = \frac{1}{50} = 0.02

6. Probability of getting a number divisible by 72

The multiples of 72 between 1 and 50 are: None.

There are no multiples of 72.

The probability PP is: P(divisible by 72)=050=0P(\text{divisible by 72}) = \frac{0}{50} = 0

7. Probability of getting an even number

The even numbers between 1 and 50 are: 2, 4, 6, 8, ..., 50.

There are 25 even numbers.

The probability PP is: P(even number)=2550=12=0.5P(\text{even number}) = \frac{25}{50} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5
