Problem

What is the probability that a randomly selected integer in the set is divisible by 2 and not divisible by 3? Express your answer as a common fraction.
Solution
Since , there are 50 integers in the set that are divisible by 2. The numbers among these that are also divisible by 3 are the multiples of 6 in the set. Dividing 100 by 6 gives , so there are 16 multiples of 6 in the set, which leaves multiples of 2 that are not also multiples of 3. There are 100 numbers in the set so the desired probability is .
Final answer
\dfrac{17}{50}
