Final answer:

The probability of selecting an integer between 1 and 18 from the jar is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of selecting an integer, n, between 1 and 18, including 1 and 18, from the jar can be found by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the number of total outcomes. In this case, the number of favorable outcomes is 18 (as there are 18 integers between 1 and 18 inclusive) and the number of total outcomes is 18 (as there are 18 numbers in total from 1 to 18). So the probability is:

P(n) = favorable outcomes / total outcomes = 18 / 18 = 1

Therefore, the probability of selecting an integer between 1 and 18 from the jar is 1.
