Quizplus · Accepted Answer

There are 9 even numbers and 6 multiples of 3 between 1 and 18 (note that 6 is not counted twice as it is both an even number and a multiple of 3). Therefore, there are 9+6=15 regions that satisfy the given condition. The total number of regions is 18, so the probability is 15/18 or simplify to 5/6. The closest option is A) 11ebbed0_ca1b_b379_8acb_914fe918e578_TB8253_11.
