kow [346]

Answer: 0.1515

Explanation:

The prime numbers from 1 to 12 are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11. This means that there are 5 prime numbers from 1 to 12.

The probability of drawing the first prime number will be: = 5/12

The probability of drawing the second prime number will be: = 4/11

Cassius & Calpurnia were co-conspirators in the killing.  The answer is Brutus because my senses tell me Brutus....

Hope I helped you!
