Answer
S = {1, 2, 3, ….., 16}, where the total number of outcomes is 16.
Let E be the event of getting a card with number that divide 16 perfectly, then
E = {1, 2, 4, 8, 16}
The number of favorable outcomes to the event E = 5
∴ P(E) =
The probability that the drawn card bears a number which is a factor of 16 is is incorrect.
Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
