Probability of number

Numbers are being selected sporadically from the a1 to a50 cells. I'm trying to find the probability for the a51 cell being selected.

    Hello @curley1,

     

    I'm afraid I need some clarification on your problem before I can provide an answer:

    • Is the number in cell A51 a number contained inside the range A1:A50?
    • Are the numbers in A1:A50 all unique? Are some duplicates?
    • Are you looking for the probability of drawing A51 after only one draw? After multiple unsuccessful draws?
