(1) 23 < z < 29

(2) z is odd.

Any positive integer other than prime numbers and 1 have greater than 2 factors

Question REPHRASED: Is z a Prime Number?

Statement 1: 23 < z < 29

i.e. z = {24, 25, 26, 27, 28} (because z is integer)
Not none of the possible values of z is a Prime number i,e, answer to teh question is is DEFINITELY NO hence
SUFFICIENT

Statement 2: z is odd

i.e. z may be 3 (prime) or 15 (non-prime) hence
