Out of 15 consecutive numbers, 2 are chosen at random. The probability that they are both odds or both primes is_________?
Correct answer: D. Cannot be determined
- A. 10/17
- B. 10/19
- C. 46/105
- D. Cannot be determined
Explanation
The actual set of 15 consecutive numbers is not given, and the number of primes and odd numbers can change with the starting number. Thus the probability cannot be determined from the information supplied. Students may choose a numerical option by silently assuming the numbers are 1 to 15, but that assumption is not stated.

About Ratio and Proportion
Ratios compare quantities in the same units, while proportions state that two ratios are equal. Problems cover simplification, division in a given ratio, direct and inverse variation, scale, and missing terms, with attention to the difference between a ratio and a fraction representing part of a whole.
