Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation

Sample space S = {10, 11, 12, ... 30}

Let E denote the event of choosing a number divisible by 3

Then E = {12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30} and n(E) = 7

Prob (E) = \(\frac{n(E)}{n(S)}\)

Prob (E) = \(\frac{7}{21}\)

Prob (E) = \(\frac{1}{3}\)

There is an explanation video available below.
