Question

what is the probaility that a number selected from the number from 1 to 16 is a prime number​

Answer 1

Answer:

3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

prime numbers from 1 to 16 are:

2,3,5,7,11,13

the total numbers between 1 to 16 are:16

thus,

the probabilty of getting a number selected from the number 1 to 16 is a prime=favourable outcomes/total outcomes

=6/16 =3/8

Answer 2

Answer:

3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

A: event that a number drawn from 1 to 16 is prime

We need to find P(A)

Prime numbers between 1 and 16 are: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11 and 13

[1 is considered neither prime nor composite]

n(A) = No. of outcome favouring event A = 6

n(S) = Total no. of outcomes possible = 16

P(A) = n(A) / n(S) = 6/16 = 3/8
