If a positive integer $n$ is picked at random from the positive integers less than or equal to $10$, what is the probability that $5n+3\leq14$?

First solve for your inequality. $5n + 3 \leq 14$ |

Since $n\in\{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10\}\implies (5n+3)\in \{8,13,18,23,28,33,38,43,48,53\}$ Now Since $5n+3$ takes only two values out of ten which are less than or equal to $14$ $\implies P(5n+3\leq 14)=\frac{2}{10}=0.2$ (Assuming each number from $1$ to $10$ is equally likely to be chosen) |
