a) What is the probability that a positive integer is not a prime number?
b) What is the probability that three points placed randomly and independently in (with an uniform distrbution), form a triangle and that the triangle is also obtuse?

a) The probability that a positive integer is not a prime number is equal to A = 1 − n → ∞ lim n lo g ( n ) n = 1 − n → ∞ lim lo g ( n ) 1 = 1 − 0 = 1
b) WLOG , we can suposse that 2 points are (0,0) and (1,0). Then it's sufficient that the third point is in the semiplane x < 0 or in the semiplane x > 1 and it is not in the line y = 0 ,for the 3 points forming an obtuse triangle. Therefore, the probability B is bigger or equal to 4 ⋅ 4 1 = 1 ⇒ B = 1 .
