Take note that probability is a measure/estimate that an event is likely to happen. To compute, apply the formula:
number of favorable outcomes
P(A) = -------------------------------------------
total number of possible outcomes

Take note that probability is a measure/estimate that an event is likely to happen. To compute, apply the formula:
number of favorable outcomes
P(A) = -------------------------------------------
total number of possible outcomes
From 110 to 199, there are a total of 90 numbers present (see attached). Among the numbers present, only four of them have perfect square factors. These are:
`11^2 = 121`
`12^2=144`
`13^2=169`
`14^2=196`
This means that there are 86 numbers that are not prefect squares.
So out of 90 possible outcomes, there are 86 favorable outcomes in getting a number that is not a perfect square.
Applying the formula above, it will yield:
`P(A)= 86/90=43/45`
Therefore, the probability that the number selected is not a perfect square is `43/45` .
