A company with 3,895 employees selects employees for random drug tests. Each employee is assigned a number between 1 and 3,895. The company uses a computer to randomly select employee numbers that range from 1 to 3,895. Find the probability of selecting a number greater than 2900.
.
Number of employees "greater than 2900":
3895-2900 = 995
.
Total number or employees = 3895
.
Probability = 995/3895 = 0.2555 = 25.55%
