The probability that Jane opens a prime page in a 24-page magazine is 0.375. There are 9 prime numbers between 1-24 and they are: 2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19, and 23. To calculate, Probability = Events/Number of Outcomes which is 9/24 = 0.375. I hope that this is the answer that you were looking for and it has helped you.
