Expert Solution
Step 1

Given data:

The total numbers are n(S)=20.

(a)

The events which are either multiple of 3 or 7 are,

A=3, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, 15, 18

The numbers of the events which are either multiple of 3 or 7 are,

n(A)=8

The expression for the probability of the events which are either multiple of 3 or 7 is,

PA=nAnS

Substitute the given values in the above expression.

PA=820=0.4

 

Thus, the probability of the events which are either multiple of 3 or 7 is 0.4.
