What is the probability that a number chosen at random from the integers 11 and 20 inclusive is either prime or a multiple of 3?
Explanation
To find the probability that a number chosen at random from the integers 11 to 20 (inclusive) is either prime or a multiple of 3, follow these steps:
1. List the numbers from 11 to 20:
2. Identify the prime numbers in this range:
Prime numbers:
3. Identify the multiples of 3 in this range:
Multiples of 3:
4. Combine these sets and eliminate duplicates:
Numbers that are either prime or multiples of 3:
5. Count the total unique numbers:
There are 7 unique numbers:
6. Count the total number of integers from 11 to 20:
Total integers: 10
7. Calculate the probability:
Therefore, the correct answer is:
