The cell cycle can be divided into two phases interphase and mitosis (cell division), Mitosis is further subdivided into prophas
e, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. A lab technician observed 200 cells from a cell line and recorded the number of cells in each phase of the cell cycle. The results are shown in the table.

Based on the data, what is the probability a randomly chosen cell will be observed undergoing cell division?
