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 of getting a prime number from 1 to 20?
40%
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.
How do you find the probability of 20 out of 50?
The probability is 20/50 = 0.4
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 probability of a spinner of 20 landing on 5?
Probability of a spinner of 20 landing on 5 is 1/20.

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.
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.
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
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%.
When you roll 4 dice What is the probability of getting a sum of 21?
It is 20/1296 = 0.01543 (approx).
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)
How many times would a coin have to show heads in 50 tosses to show an experimental probability of 20 percent more than the theoretical probability of getting heads?
Theoretical probability = 0.5 Experimental probability = 20% more = 0.6 In 50 tosses, that would imply 30 heads.

Only 7.2 percent of the population has O-negative blood A mobile blood center is visited by 20 donors in afternoon Let X denote number of universal donors among them probability that X is at least 2?
The probability that any given donor is a universal donor is 0.072.We need the probability that the number of universal donors in this group of 20 is not zero or one.Probability of getting zero universal donors: ( 1 - 0.072 )^20 = 0.224367Probability of getting one such donor: 0.348156 (given by the binomial probability density function: probability of one success in 20 trials with p=0.072)Total: 0.224367 + 0.348156 = 0.572523, the probability of zero or one donorsBut we want 1 - 0.572523 = 0.427477, the probability of getting two or more such donors.^ stands for 'to the power of'
