Calculating the Probability of Drawing a Chip Less Than 570

Understanding the Problem

There are 756 identical plastic chips numbered one through 756 in a box.

Calculating the Probability

The probability of drawing a chip less than 570 can be calculated as follows:

There are 569 chips numbered from 1 to 569 that are less than 570.

Therefore, the probability of drawing a chip less than 570 is 569 out of 756.

Expressing the Answer

The probability can be expressed as a fraction or a decimal rounded.

Answer: 569/756

Explanation

Each chip has an equal probability of being drawn, which is 1/756.

Since there are 569 chips less than 570, the probability of drawing one of them is:

1/756 * 569 = 569/756

What is the probability of reaching into a box and drawing the chip less than 570?

The probability of drawing a chip less than 570 is 569/756.
