Question 1161317: please help me solve this question;
A box contains 50 wooden balls numbered 1 through 50. If one ball is drawn at random from the box, what is the probability that the number on the ball is a prime number? Answer by math_helper(2461) (Show Source):
The answer is (number of prime numbers) / 50.
So next you need to figure out how many primes there are between 1 and 50, inclusive?
The primes less than 50 are {2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41,43,47}
You can finish from here...
