Question 1025406: A number is picked at random from a box of consecutive numbers from 1-65535, after the number is picked it is placed back into the box, this is done 4 times. What is the probability that the number chosen is greater than or equal to 61756.41794 on the first try, the second try, the third try, or the fourth try?

The probability would be the same for each try.
So numbers that are greater than 61756.41794 would be 61757 through 65535 which is a total or 65535-61757%2B1=3779
P=3779%2F65535
