Even sum of two different primes up to 20

Question

Two different primes are chosen uniformly at random from the primes in {1,2,…,20}\{1,2,\dots,20\}. What is the probability that they add up to an even number?

Short answer

34\tfrac34. There are 88 such primes, and every one except 22 is odd. The sum is even exactly when 22 is not chosen, which happens with probability (72)/(82)=2128=34\binom72/\binom82=\tfrac{21}{28}=\tfrac34.
