1%5E2=1
2%5E2=4
and as the numbers grow, so do their squares, and we get to
9%5E2=81 and 10%5E2=100 .
The squares of the numbers from 1 to 9 are between 1 and 94 ,
so there would be 9 squares among the 94 cards,
and that makes the probability of drawing a number that is a square 9%2F94 .
That is approximately 0.096 or 9.6%.
