Final answer:

The probability of drawing a chip numbered 13 or greater from a barrel containing fifty-two same-sized chips numbered from 1 to 52 when one chip is randomly pulled from the barrel is 40/52 or approximately 0.769, which is equal to 76.9%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of drawing a chip numbered 13 or greater from a barrel containing fifty-two same-sized chips numbered from 1 to 52 when one chip is randomly pulled from the barrel can be calculated by finding the number of favorable outcomes and dividing it by the total number of possible outcomes.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Number of favorable outcomes: There are a total of 52 chips in the barrel. The chips numbered from 13 to 52 (40 chips) are considered favorable outcomes.

2. Total number of possible outcomes: The total number of chips in the barrel is 52.

3. Probability: Divide the number of favorable outcomes (40 chips) by the total number of possible outcomes (52 chips):

∕ P(13 or greater) = 40 ∕ 52

∕ P(13 or greater) = 0.769 or 76.9%
