If an integer greater than 100 and less than 1,000 is to be selected at random, what is the probability that the integer selected will be a multiple of 7?

A. \(\frac{142}{999}\)

B. \(\frac{142}{900}\)

C. \(\frac{142}{899}\)

D. \(\frac{128}{900}\)

E. \(\frac{128}{899}\)

Total cases: 999-101+1=899
Favorable cases are multiples 7 from 101 to 999: (994-105)/7+1=128
Probability: 128/899

Are You Up For the Challenge: 700 Level Questions

The least multiple of 7 greater than 100 is 105. The greatest multiple of 7 less than 1000 is 994.

Thus, the total number of multiples of 7 greater than 100 but less than 1000 is:

(994 - 105)/7 + 1 = 128

The total number of numbers greater than 100 but less than 1000 is 999 - 101 + 1 = 899.

Thus, the probability is 128/899.

Answer: E
