Answer:
The probability of randomly drawing the chip numbered 170 is 1/216 or 0.0046
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability is the likelihood or chance of an event occurring. Probability can be determined using the formula below
Probability = Number of favorable outcome / Total number of possible outcomes.
From the question, we are to determine the probability of reaching into the box and randomly drawing the chip numbered 170.
Here, the number of favorable outcome is 1 (which is the chip numbered 170)
Total number of possible outcomes is 216 ( all the 216 identical plastic chips)
Therefore,
Probability = 1/216 or 0.0046
This is the probability of randomly drawing the chip numbered 170.
The probability of randomly drawing the chip numbered 170 is 1/216 or 0.0046
