See Is there a 'probability of finding a prime' listed anywhere? for example.

If you go to the subproject page and look at the range statistics you can get a feel for what your chances are. Or alternatively join a large team and compare how many primes your team members have found compared to their credits.[/url]

Some of the sub-projects have chance of prime discussions:
321 Prime Search
Prime Sierpinski Problem
The Riesel Problem
Sierpinski/Riesel Base 5 Problem
Generalized Fermat Prime Search

If you could find out the number of tasks in a range you can calculate the possibility (average 1 in x tasks) of finding a prime.
