Question

A box contains cards numbered 3, 5, 7, 9, …, 35, 37. A card is drawn at random from the box. Find the probability that the number on the drawn card is a prime number.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that ,

_______________________________

The probability event E

P( E ) = Number of outcomes favourable to E / Number of all

possible outcomes of the experiment

___________________________________

According to the problem given ,

Number of all possible outcomes =

Number of cards the box contains = 18 -------( 1 )

( 3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19,21,23,25,,27,29,31,33,35,37 )

Number of outcomes favourable = 11 ----- ( 2 )

( since prime number cards in the box are

3 , 5 ,7, 11 , 13 ,17 , 19 ,23 , 29 , 31 , 37 )

P( E ) = ( 1 ) / ( 2 )

= 11 / 18

= 0.61111..

= 0.61 ( approx )

I hope this helps you.

Answer 2

Answer:

we know that

probability = favorable outcomes/ total outcomes

so, = 11/18 is ans
