  1. A \(\frac{5}{16}\)
  2. B \(\frac{7}{16}\)
  3. C \(\frac{11}{16}\)
  4. D \(\frac{10}{16}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{7}{16}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Consider the events \(A=\) Probability that prime number occur \(B=\) Probability that prime number does not occur \(E=\) prime number occur when man reports 25 prime number from 1 to 100 \(\therefore \quad P(A)=\frac{25}{100}=\frac{1}{4}\) \(P(B)=\frac{75}{100}=\frac{3}{4}\)…
