Given, a ticket is drawn at random from a bag containing tickets numbered from 1 to 40.
P(E) =  Number of favourable outcomes   Total number of outcomes   
Let E be the event that the selected ticket has a number that is a multiple of 5.
Total number of outcomes =40   The favourable outcomes of event E are 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40.
Number of favourable outcomes of event E=8   Probability that the selected ticket has a number that is a multiple of 5.
P(E) =  Number of favourable outcomes   Total number of outcomes    = 8 40   = 1 5  
The probability that the selected ticket has a number that is a multiple of 5 is  1 5   .
