There are 346

identical plastic chips numbered 1
through 346
in a box.

What is the probability of reaching into the box and randomly drawing a chip number that is smaller than 215
? Express your answer as a simplified fraction or a decimal rounded to four decimal places.

1 answer

The total number of possibilities is 346. The number of chips smaller than 215 is 214 (1 through 214).

Thus, the probability of drawing a chip number smaller than 215 is 214/346, which simplifies to 107/173.

As a decimal, this is approximately 0.6185.
