B1
for labels on diagram
M1
for just 15 in the intersection
M1
for just 5 and 25 in only set B or just 3, 9, 21 and 27 in only set A or just 1, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29 in \((A \cup B)\)′

\(\dfrac{7}{15}\)
P1
ft for \(\dfrac{\text{``}7\text{''}}{a}\) where \(a \geqslant \text{``}7\text{''}\) or \(\dfrac{b}{\text{``}15\text{''}}\) where \(b \leqslant \text{``}15\text{''}\)
