Question 10 • FowU - Financial Math - B

What is the probability of rolling a prime number of a standard 20-sided die? (1 is not a prime number.)

Answer
A
7/20
B
2/5
C
9/20
D
1/2

Explanation

The prime numbers from 1 through 20 are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, and 19, so there are 8 prime outcomes. A 20-sided die has 20 equally likely outcomes, giving a probability of 8/20 = 2/5. The correct choice is 2/5.
