What is the probability of getting 2 prime nos from 1 to 20?
In the sample space [1,20], there are 8 prime numbers, [2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19]. The probability, then, of randomly choosing a prime number in the sample space [1,20] is (8 in 20), or (2 in 5), or 0.4. The probability of choosing two of them is (8 in 20) times (7 in 19) which is (56 in 1064) or (7 in 133) or about 0.05263.
What is the probability to choose a prime number from 1 to 20?
In this problem, the total number of possibilities is 20, so n = 20.The set of prime numbers from 1 to 20 = {2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19}, so f = 8Probability = f/n = 8/20 = 0.4.You have a 2 in 5 chance of choosing a prime number from 1 to 20.
Was the outcome of getting heads or tails in the 20 tosses same as the probability ratio?
It depends on what variable the probability ratio was for! The random variable could have been the number of heads minus the number of tails, for example.
Toss a coin-randomly select a number from 0 to 9 What is the probability of getting tails and selecting a 0?
The result of tossing the coin would not affect which number was selected. So we say that these two events are independent. We can therefore assess the probability of each of them separately and then multiply the two probabilities together for a final result. Probability of getting tails: 1/2 (since there is one way of getting heads out of two possibilities) Probability of getting zero: 1/10 (since there is one way of getting zero out of ten possibilities) Overall probability: 1/2 x 1/20 = 1/20
What is the prime number after 20?
The first prime after 20 is 23.
What is the theoretical probability of getting a prime number if you randomly pick a number from 20 through 39?
There are 20 numbers from 20 through 39, and 4 of them are prime (23, 29, 31, 37), the probability is 4 in 20 or 0.20.
What is the probability of picking a prime number from numbers between 1 and 20?
The probability is 8/20.

What is the probability of selecting a prime number from 1 to 20?
There are eight prime numbers between 1 and 20.2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19If you randomly choose in number then you have an 8 in 20 chance of selecting a prime.The probability is selecting a prime number is 8/20 or 0.4
If a number is chosen at random from the numbers 1 to 20 inclusive what is the probability a prime will be picked?
There are 8 out of 20 numbers that are prime, so 8/20, or 2/5.
A number is chosen at random from the first 20 positive whole numbers What is the probability that it is not a prime number?
There are 12 composite (and 8 primes) in the first twenty whole numbers. So the probability of randomly choosing a non-prime is 12/20 or 60%.
If a number from 1 to 20 is chosen what is the probability of getting 7?
1 out of 20 this is because there are 20 numbers in total, and there is only one 7 in there. (Assuming that there is the same probability for each number to be chosen, and that 17 is excluded as an affirmative outcome)
What is the probability to choose a prime number from 1 to 20?

A card is drawn from a deck of cards 1 to 20 the card is not replaced and another is drawn what is the probability that a prime number is drawn and then composite number?
There are 8 prime numbers (2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19) between 1 and 20, the rest are comp. P(prime then comp) = (8/20) * (11/20) = .22 There is a 22% chance you will draw a prime number followed by a composite number. ...maybe...
Was the outcome of getting heads or tails in the 20 tosses same as the probability ratio?
It depends on what variable the probability ratio was for! The random variable could have been the number of heads minus the number of tails, for example.
Is 20 a probability?
No, a probability must needs be a number between 0 and 1.20% might be a probability, though - since that is equivalent to 0.2.
