The cell cycle can be divided into two phases interphase and mitosis (cell division), Mitosis is further subdivided into prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
A lab technician observed 200 cells from a cell line and recorded the number of cells in each phase of the cell cycle. The results are shown in the table.
Number of Cells Observed
(out of 200)

anaphase
telophase
Based on the data, what is the probability a randomly chosen cell will be observed undergoing cell division?
