How to make mathematical sense of the following statement?

42 Views Asked by At

A randomly chosen number N satisfying $N ≡ 3(6)$ has zero probability of being prime.

I was thinking about the Prime Number Theorem but I'm not sure about how to do it.

I'm guessing that "probability" here should be interpreted in the sense of asymptotic density. In that case the prime number theorem is not needed. Instead, note that $N=6k+3$ for some integer $k$. How often is such an $N$ prime?
