Answer: \(\frac{4}{7}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given set : {1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 30, 36}

Total numbers in the set = 7

Even Numbers = {2,10,30,36}

The number of even numbers in the set=4

Now, the probability that an even number is selected is given by :-

\(\text{P(Even)}=\frac{\text{Even numbers}}{\text{Total numbers}}\\\\\Rightarrow\text{P(Even)}=\frac{4}{7}\)
