The integers 11 to 30 are written on 20 cards. If one is selected at random, what is the probability that it is a prime number?

Respuesta :

ANSWER

[tex]P=\frac{3}{10}=0.3[/tex]

EXPLANATION

We want to find the probability that the number selected will be a prime number.

Between 11 and 30, there are 6 prime numbers:

[tex]11,13,17,19,23,29[/tex]

The probability that the card selected is one with a prime number is the number of prime numbers divided by the total number (20).

Therefore, we have:

[tex]\begin{gathered} P=\frac{6}{20} \\ \Rightarrow P=\frac{3}{10}=0.3 \end{gathered}[/tex]

That is the answer.
