What is the probability that he gets a number less than 4 or a multiple of 4?

P  ( <4  or multiple of 4 )   =

 

P( < 4)   +   P (multiple of 4 )   -  P(<4  and multiple of 4)   =

 

(3/8)      +   ( 2/8)    -      0  =

 

5 / 8

 

Note  that  P( < 4  and multiple of 4)  = 0  because there are no multiples of 4 that are < 4
