Question

There are 748 identical plastic chips numbered 1 through 748 in a box. What is the probability of reaching into the box and randomly drawing the chip numbered 513? Express your answer as a simplified fraction or a decimal rounded to four decimal places.

Answer 1

1/748 or about 0.0013

Explanation:

Since there is an exactly equal probability of drawing any of the chips, the probability of drawing the one numbered 513 is:

`(1)/(748)\approx 0.0013`
