A bag contains 16 cards bearing number1,2,3…, 16 respectively. one card is chosen at random. What is the probability that the chosen card bears a number which is divisible by 3?

Total number of cards = 16


Chances of drawing a numbered card which is divisible by 3 = 5 (They are 3,6,9,12,15)


Probability P() =


Probability of drawing a numbered cards which is divisible by 3


P(card divisible by 3) =
