A bag contains 50 coins and each coin marked from 51 to 100. One coin is

picked up at random. The probability that the number on the coin is not a prime
number is

Total number of coins = 50

∴ Total number of outcomes = 50

prime numbers are 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97

P(prime numbers) =

∴ P(not prime numbers) = 1 -

=

  • 7

4/5 is the probablity that a coin picked at random is not a prime number...

hope it helps..!! u best of luck...!!

Total no. of coins = 50

E = Getting a composite number.
