If U = {x : x is an integer and 1 \(\leq\) x \(\leq\) 20
E1 = {x : x is a multiple of 3}
E2 = {x : x is a multiple of 4}
and an integer is picked at random from U, find the probability that it is not in E2
E1 = {x : x is a multiple of 3}
E2 = {x : x is a multiple of 4}

Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation:
U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5,..., 20}
E1 = {3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18}
E2 = {4, 8, 12, 16, 20}
P(E1) = 5/20
P(not E1) = 1 - (5/20) = 15/20 = 3/4
U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5,..., 20}
E1 = {3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18}
E2 = {4, 8, 12, 16, 20}
P(E1) = 5/20
P(not E1) = 1 - (5/20) = 15/20 = 3/4
