Answer:

3/7

Explanation:

1,2,3,4,5,6,7

The word problem is asking the PROBABILITY OF NOT SELECTING A PRIME NUMBER.

PROBABILITY: THE LIKELIHOOD OF AN EVENT.

There are 7 numbers in this data set. Of the seven numbers, four are prime numbers, three of them are not.

Therefore, the probability of not selecting a prime number is 3 in 7, or 3 out of 7 (3/7).
