consider a company that selects employees for random drug tests. The company uses a computer to randomly select employee numbers that range from 1 to 6296.

Find the probability of selecting a number greater than 1000.

Solution

There are 6296 numbers in total (1 to 6296)

Favourable numbers are above 1000, i.e, from 1001 to 6296, i.e, 5296 in total.

P(number greater than 1000) = 5296 / 6296= 0.84117
