Question 1196700
.
A company {{{highlight(cross(that))}}} selects employees for random drug tests. They assign each employee a number from 1-6296. 
What is the probability of selecting a number that is not divisible by 1000?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
From 1 to 6296 inclusive, divisible by 1000 are these  6 numbers  1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000.


The rest 6296 - 6 = 6290 are NOT divisible by 1000.


Therefore, the probability the question asks for is  {{{6290/6296}}} = 0.999047  (rounded).    <U>ANSWER</U>
