1.

One number is chosen at random from the number 1 to 21. What is the probability that it is prime.

Answer»

Sample space n(S) = 21 

Prime numbers from 1 to 21 are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19. 

It ‘E’ be the event of getting a prime number, then n(E) = 8 

∴ p(E) = \(\frac{n(F)}{n(S)}\) = \(\frac{8}{21}\)

The Probability that the number is prime = \(\frac{8}{21}.\)

probability of getting prime number = 8/21 = 0.38
