Answer:

Part A : 40%

Part B : 60%

Explanation:

Brian's school locker has a three-digit combination lock that can be set using the numbers 5 to 9 (including 5 and 9).

This means 5,6,7,8,9 a total of 5 numbers.

Now out of these 5 numbers only 2 are prime numbers i.e 5 and 7.

So, The probability that the locker code begins with a prime number is =
(2)/(5)*100=40%

The probability that the last digit of the locker code is an odd number is=


(3)/(5)*100 =60%
