ok i am bit confused here. Shouldnt 11 be a prime number as well in this case or 1 isnt considered prime for gmat questions

1 is neither prime nor composite - this is the rule for GMAT.

Just to elaborate more 1 is not prime not only for the GMAT but in math generally. GMAT does not have its own math.

The figure shows a spinner with consecutive integers from 11 to 18 written on it. If Simone spins the pointer so that it has an equal likelihood of stopping on any number, what is the probability that the pointer will end up pointing to an integer with a prime units digit?

A. 1/3
B. 1/2
C. 3/8
D. 5/8
E. 2/3

We are given a circular figure divided into sections, with each section labeled as:

11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18

We need to determine the probability that the pointer will stop on a section with an integer that has a prime units digit.

We see that 12, 13, 15, and 17 each has a prime units digit; thus, the probability is 4/8 = 1/2. (Remember that 1 is not a prime number!)
