How many chips are either 24 or greater?

anonymous · Answer

It just wants it in fractional form. So you would list the number of possible solutions from 24 to 27.

D?

welshfella · Answer

count how many chips there are greater or equal to 24.
the probability is this number / 27

anonymous · Answer

D is close, it wants the probability of chips that WILL be 24 or greater. Not the 23 that aren't

welshfella · Answer

not D  - there are not 23 chips >= 24

anonymous · Answer

@n33dhelp1  if you look at it, there are 4 chips that are greater or equal to. since there are 27 chips total and only 4 greater than 23, then your answer would be 4/27 because there are only 4 specific types of chips that can be pulled
