    Re: Probability
    There are five primes between 1 and 11 inclusive:
    2,3,5,7,11

    The probability of picking any integer between 1 and 11
    inclusive is 1/11 so the probability of picking a prime
    between 1 and 11 inclusive is 5/11
    Allowing for repetition; the probability of picking two
    such primes is (5/11)^2 = 25/121

    There are four powers of two between 1 and 11
    inclusive. They are 1 = 2^0,2,4,84/11
    So the probability of picking a such a power of
    two is 4/11
    Allowing for repetition; the probability of picking two
    such powers of two is (4/11)^2 = 16/121

    The probability of picking a prime and then a power of
    two if these numbers lie between 1 and 11 inclusive and allowing for repetition is (5/11)(4/11)=20/121
