A number is chosen at random from the set {13, 14, ...., 30}. What is the probability that it is a prime number?
Set = {13, 14, ...., 30}
Set = {13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30}
Number of samples = 18
Prime numbers are numbers with only two factors (1 and itself). Thus only 1 and the number itself can divide the number without a remainder.
Set of prime numbers from the set = {13, 17, 19, 23, 29}
Number of prime numbers = 5
