Answer:

1 is neither prime nor a composite number because it only has 1 divisor, 1 and 1, and it doesn't have more than 2 integral divisors, like stated, it only has 1. So it falls in neither category.

Answer:

because

Step-by-step explanation:

A prime number has exactly two integral divisors: 1 and itself. Because it contains only one divisor, the number 1 is not a prime. A whole number with more than two integral divisors is called a composite number. So, with the exception of 0 and 1, all whole integers are either prime or composite.

Annie writes the numbers 1 through 10 on note cards. She flips the cards over so she cannot see the number and selects three car

Kay [80]

<h2>The probability that Annie has selected the cards numbered 1, 2, and 3 is $(\frac{1}{720} )$ </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the total number of cards in the set = 10

The cards are numbered as 1,2,3,4,5,...., 10

P(Any event E) = $\frac{\textrm{Total favorable events}}{\textrm{Total number of events}}$

P(picking a card with number 1) = $\frac{\textrm{Total cards with number 1 on it}}{\textrm{Total cards}} = (\frac{1}{10})$

Now when the first card is picked, the number of cards left = 10 - 1 = 9

P(picking a card with number 2) = $\frac{\textrm{Total cards with number 2 on it}}{\textrm{Total cards}} = (\frac{1}{9})$

Similarly, P(picking a card with number 3) = $\frac{\textrm{Total cards with number 3 on it}}{\textrm{Total cards}} = (\frac{1}{8})$

So, the total probability that she has selected card with number 1, 2 and 3

= $(\frac{1}{10} ) \times (\frac{1}{9} ) \times (\frac{1}{8} ) = (\frac{1}{720} )$

Hence, the probability that she has selected the cards numbered 1, 2, and 3 is $(\frac{1}{720} )$
