Question

a zoo adds new animals. 20 are monkeys, 34 are zebras, 12 are elephants, and 4 are lions. find the probability that a new animal is not an elephant. p(not an elephant) = ? round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of animals

$20 + 34+12 + 4=70$

Step2: Calculate number of non - elephant animals

$70 - 12 = 58$

Step3: Calculate the probability

$P(\text{Not an Elephant})=\frac{58}{70}\approx0.83$

Answer:

$0.83$
