You have the numbers 1–25 written on slips of paper. If you choose one slip at random, what is the probability that you will select a number that is divisible by 3?

Probability = (number of possible successes) / (total possible results)
Successes . . . you pull out 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, or 24 . . . 8 possible successes
Total possible results . . . 25
Probability = 8 / 25 = 32%

The probability of selecting a number between 1 and 25 that is divisible by 3 is 25 8 ​ , which is equivalent to 32%. This is determined by counting the multiples of 3 within that range and dividing by the total count of numbers. Therefore, 8 numbers out of 25 meet the criteria.
