Your question is not worded very well. Please reread your homework assignment and type it again so we can do your homework for you and you can get a great grade and go to college and totally flunk out because you never did your own homework.

The chance of n-1 being prime is infinitesimally small, if that's what you're asking.

yes? (sry im not really sure)
But i think so coz the number b4 n is (n-1) which is prime, u can't multiply two things and get (n-1) unless its (n-1) and 1.
But I mite be overthinkin this...

Probably not, because primes have fairly low density.
