In a pack of 90 cards, each card was marked with a different number among 110 to 199. A card was selected at random. Find the probability that the...

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...

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` .
