When a fair die is thrown the probability that a Prime number will occur is 2:1
The probability of eventually throwing a prime number is 1. On a single throw, of a fair die, the probability is 1/2.

The probability is 8/20.
The probability is 1 out of two. The primes you can roll are 2,3, and 5.
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
When a Die is thrown then the probability of an event getting out-comes is not a prime number is 3/6. The possible prime numbers would be 2, 3, or 5. The possible outcomes are 1, 2,3,4,5 and 6. So 1,4 and 6 are not primes and there are 3 numbers out of 6 possible so that is 3/6 or p=.5

"The probability of getting a prime number in a die is 4/6" Actually there are 3 prime numbers on a die. 2, 3, and 5 are all prime numbers. So this tells you that you have 3 chances it will be a prime number and 3 chances it will not be a prime number. So the probability of getting a prime number on a die would be 3/6 or 1/2.
The probability of getting at least one prime number in two dice is 3/4.
The probability of eventually throwing a prime number is 1. On a single throw, of a fair die, the probability is 1/2.
Assuming you mean the sum of the two dice is a prime number, then: The possible outcomes are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11 which occur 1, 2, 4, 7, 2 times respectively. There are 36 possible outcomes → pr(prime_sum) = (1+2+4+7+2)/36 = 16/36 = 4/9 If you mean that both dice must show a prime number, then: The possible primes are 2, 3, 5 → probability of 1 die showing a prime number is 3/6 = ½ → probability both show a prime number is ½ × ½ = ¼ If you mean either or both dice could show a prime number, then: The possible primes are 2, 3, 5 → probability of 1 die showing a primes is 3/6 = ½ → probability of a die not showing a prime is 1 - ½ = ½ → probability of neither die showing a prime is ½ × ½ = ¼ → probability of either or both dice show a prime is 1 - ¼ = ¾
The answer depends on the sum of WHAT!

no. because there are more composite numbers than prime numbers It depends on the place you choose to pick the prime number (e.g. 457 or 7577?). The bigger the number the less likely it is a prime.A formula gives the probability for a number being prime (Prime Number Theorem).
no.
The probability of rolling an even number on a die is 3 in 6 or 1 in 2. The probability of rolling a prime on a die is 3 in 6 or 1 in 2, but one of those primes is also even. Simply add the probabilities and you find that the probability of rolling an even number or a prime on a die is 5 in 6.
the probability is 4 out of 6
