Answer
On choosing an integer between 0 and 100,
Sample space = {1, 2, 3, 4, …….., 99}.
(i) Let E1 be the event of choosing a number that is divisible by 7.
E1 = {7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70, 77, 84, 91, 98}.
∴ The number of favourable outcomes to the event E1 = 14.
Hence, the probability of choosing an integer divisible by 7 is .
(ii) Let E2 be the event of choosing a number that is not divisible by 7.
Since there are 14 numbers between 0 and 100 that are divisible by 7, hence the numbers not divisible by 7 = 99 - 14 = 85.
Hence, the probability of choosing an integer not divisible by 7 is
