Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Y = {18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29}
Number of prime numbers = 3
Prob(picking a prime number) = \(\frac{3}{12}\)
= \(\frac{1}{4}\)
Y = {18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29}
Number of prime numbers = 3
Prob(picking a prime number) = \(\frac{3}{12}\)
= \(\frac{1}{4}\)
