I know I want to write it about something in the mathematical field. I have narrowed it down to two options:
1. Prime numbers: Their importance as the building blocks of all numbers, the search to find a formula which will generate primes, etc.
2. Probability and chance: The theory of probability, its importance in many industries and professions, the odds of things such as winning the lottery, the probability behind tv shows such as Deal or No Deal, the Monty Hall problem, etc.
Which do you think would make for a more interesting paper?
The purpose of the paper is for a science writing competition for young people.
