Let P(a) be the probability that an arbitrary natural is divisible by

No. Not specifically forbidden by set theory. Forbidden because there are
no appropriate definitions for the words you are using (they are not used
conforming to standard definitions, so you better supply definitions).
In probability theory (as is commonly use) you have to define how you
*select* your arbitrary natural. You have not done so, so probability
theory does not have an answer.
