Question

a group of students enter a baseball game. 14 students buy a hotdog, 10 students buy nachos, 12 students buy popcorn, and 4 students buy pizza. find the probability that a student did not buy a hotdog. p(not a hotdog) = ? round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of students

$14 + 10+12 + 4=40$

Step2: Calculate number of students who didn't buy hot - dog

$40-14 = 26$

Step3: Calculate the probability

$P(\text{Not a Hotdog})=\frac{26}{40}=0.65\approx0.6$ (rounded to nearest hundredth)

Answer:

0.6
