there are 653 identical plastic chips number 1 through 653 in a box. what is the probability of reaching into the box and randomly drawing a chip numbered smaller than 225?

Solution

Total numbers smaller than 225 = 225-1 = 224

Total number of possible outcomes = 653

Therefore,

Probability of reaching into the box and randomly drawing a chip numbered smaller than 225

= 224/653

= 0.343 Answer
