Answer:
0.96
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 100 numbers to choose from.
The number of perfect cubes though is only 4 (1³=1, 2³=8, 3³=24, 4³=64, but then 5³=125 is outside our set of numbers).
So to not get a perfect cube, there are 96 to choose from
P(not a perfect cube)
= ( # ways of not getting perfect cube ) / ( # ways of choosing a number)
= 96 / 100
= 0.96
