Question

the table shows the distribution, by age, of a random sample of 2960 moviegoers ages 12 - 74. if one moviegoer is randomly selected from this population, find the probability, expressed as a simplified fraction, that the moviegoer is not in the 12 - 24 age range.
the probability is (square) (type an integer or a simplified fraction.)

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of moviegoers

$900 + 300+800 + 260=2260$

Step2: Calculate number of moviegoers not in 12 - 24 age range

$300 + 800+260 = 1360$

Step3: Calculate the probability

The probability $P=\frac{1360}{2260}=\frac{68}{113}$

Answer:

$\frac{68}{113}$
