Answer:
17/25
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for the probability of two events that are not mutually exclusive is:
p(A ∨ B) = p(A) + p(B) - p(A ∧ B)
A = the number is prime
B = the number is prime
The numbers are:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25
Here are the 8 prime numbers that satisfy event A:
3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23
p(A) = 8/25
Here are the 13 numbers that are greater than 12 that satisfy event B:
13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25
p(B) = 13/25
Here are the 4 numbers that satisfy both event A and event B:
13, 17, 19, 23
p(A ∧ B) = 4/25
p(A ∨ B) = p(A) + p(B) - p(A ∧ B)
p(A ∨ B) = 8/25 + 13/25 - 4/25
p(A ∨ B) = 17/25
