In a lottery game, a single ball is drawn at random from a container that contains 25 identical balls numbered from 1 through 25. Use the equation P(AUB)=P(A) + P(B) - P(ANB), where A and B are any events, to compute the probability that the number drawn is prime or greater than 12.

Answer:

17/25

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the probability of two events that are not mutually exclusive is:

p(A ∨ B) = p(A) + p(B) - p(A ∧ B)

A = the number is prime

B = the number is prime

The numbers are:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25

Here are the 8 prime numbers that satisfy event A:

3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23

p(A) = 8/25

Here are the 13 numbers that are greater than 12 that satisfy event B:

13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25

p(B) = 13/25

Here are the 4 numbers that satisfy both event A and event B:

13, 17, 19, 23

p(A ∧ B) = 4/25

p(A ∨ B) = p(A) + p(B) - p(A ∧ B)

p(A ∨ B) = 8/25 + 13/25 - 4/25

p(A ∨ B) = 17/25

The probability that the number drawn is prime or greater than 12 = [tex]\frac{18}{25}[/tex]

What is probability?

"Probability is a branch of mathematics which deals with finding out the likelihood of the occurrence of an event."

Formula of the probability of an event A is:

P(A) = n(A)/n(S)

where,  n(A) is the number of favorable outcomes, n(S) is the total number of events in the sample space.

For given question,

In a lottery game, a single ball is drawn at random from a container that contains 25 identical balls numbered from 1 through 25.

n(S) = 25

Let event A: the number drawn is prime

The prime numbers from 1 to 25 are:

2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23

So, n(A) = 9

The  probability that the number drawn is prime,

[tex]P(A)=\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}\\\\ P(A)=\frac{9}{25}[/tex]

Let event B: the number drawn is greater than 12

So, n(B) = 13

The probability that the number drawn is greater than 12,

[tex]P(B)=\frac{n(B)}{n(S)}\\\\ P(B)=\frac{13}{25}[/tex]

The number drawn is prime as well as greater than 12.

Such numbers are : 13, 17, 19, 23

n(A ∩ B) = 4

So, the probability that the number drawn is prime as well as greater than 12,

[tex]P(A\cap B)=\frac{n(A\cap B)}{n(s)}\\\\ P(A\cap B)=\frac{4}{25}[/tex]

Using the equation P(AUB) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B) to find the probability that the number drawn is prime or greater than 12,

[tex]\Rightarrow P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)\\\\\Rightarrow P(A\cup B)=\frac{9}{25}+ \frac{13}{25} -\frac{4}{25} \\\\\Rightarrow P(A\cup B)=\frac{9+13-4}{25}\\\\ \Rightarrow P(A\cup B)=\frac{18}{25}[/tex]

Therefore, the probability that the number drawn is prime or greater than 12 = [tex]\frac{18}{25}[/tex]
