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.
There are 346
identical plastic chips numbered 1
through 346
in a box.
