Question

Consider a company that selects employees for random drug tests. The company uses a computer to select randomly employee numbers that range from 1 to 6296.

Find the probability of selecting a number divisible by 1000.

Answer 1

This problem sounds so ridiculous lol

All joking aside, first let's look at the multiples of 1000.

1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000

That makes 6. Complete the following equation, and you have your answer.

6 / 6296 = ?

0.000953 if you round.

Hope it helps. XD
