Probability and perfect squares

1.1k Views Asked by At

An integer $n$ is randomly chosen from $1$ to $k^2$, where $k$ is an integer. What is the probability that $n$ is a perfect square?

I know I have to first figure out the probability of getting a perfect square and then take the complement of this.

How would I go about? Thank you!!
