There are 791791 identical plastic chips numbered 11 through 791791 in a box. What is the probability of reaching into the box and randomly drawing a chip number that is smaller than 517517? Express your answer as a simplified fraction or a decimal rounded to four decimal places.

0.6523 = 65.23% probability of reaching into the box and randomly drawing a chip number that is smaller than 517.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this question, we have that:

791 chips, numbered from 1 to 791.

517 - 1 = 516 have a number smaller than 517. So

0.6523 = 65.23% probability of reaching into the box and randomly drawing a chip number that is smaller than 517.

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17
