Finding Probabilities A company assigns each of their 6296 employees a unique number between 1 and 6296. Then the company randomly selects employees for drug tests.
Find the probability of selecting a number greater than 1000.

# of numbers greater than 1000:: 6296-1000 = 5296
----
P(select a number greater than 1000) = 5296/6296
