Help please!! A sixteen-sided number cube has the numbers 1 through 16 on each face. Each face is equally likely to show after a roll. What is the probability that you will roll an even number or an odd prime number? Round to the nearest thousandth. A. 0.063 B. 0.813 C. 0.219 D. 0.875
Do you know what a prime number is?
A prime number is an integer greater than 1 that has no positive integral factor other than itself and 1. These are the prime numbers from 1 to 16. 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13,
so there's six possible numbers it could roll on .
Yes, there are six prime numbers from 1 to 16.
But the question also asks for the even integers, can you list them?
Where an even integer is an integer that is the product of 2 and any integer.
2
Yes, 2 is an even integer because it is the product of 2 and 1. Are there any others?
no not in the list you named..
The list is all the numbers on the 16 faced solid you are calculating for.
so it is only 2?
