Step 1: Given

The probability that a randomly selected integer chosen from the first $100$ positive integers is odd is $P (E) = 12$

Step 2: Explanation

As per the problem an integer is randomly chosen from first $100$ positive integers.

If S represents the sample space and E represents the event. Then the probability of occurrence of favourable event is given by the formula as given below:

$P (E) = n (E) n (S)$

Step 3: Calculation

Here we are choosing from the first $100$ positive integers so we have $n (S) = 100$

The number of odd integers in the first $100$ positive integers are as follows

${1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31$ }

So, we have $n (E) = 50$

Now substitute the values in the above formula we get

$P (E) = 50100 \Rightarrow P (E) = 12$
