Answer:
0.8358 = 83.58% probability of reaching into the box and randomly drawing a chip number that is smaller than 627
Step-by-step explanation:
Uniform probability distribution:
An uniform distribution has two bounds, a and b.
The probability of finding a value of at lower than x is:
[tex]P(X < x) = \frac{x - a}{b - a}[/tex]
There are 750 identical plastic chips numbered 1 through 750 in a box
This means that [tex]a = 1, b = 750[/tex]
What is the probability of reaching into the box and randomly drawing a chip number that is smaller than 627?
[tex]P(X < x) = \frac{627 - 1}{750 - 1} = 0.8358[/tex]
0.8358 = 83.58% probability of reaching into the box and randomly drawing a chip number that is smaller than 627
