A cooler contains 66 cans of soda. There are 9 cans of cola, 15 cans of orange soda, 12 cans of ginger ale, 6 cans of root beer, and 24 cans of club soda. If one can of soda is randomly selected, determine the probability that the can is not ginger ale.

Respuesta :

Let probability that it's ginger ale be P(G)

Let probability that it's anything but ginger ale be P(nG)

From laws of probability, in the sample space, P(G) + P(nG) = 1

therefore, P(nG) = 1 - P(G)

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{where P(G) = }\frac{12}{66}=\frac{2}{11} \\ \text{Therefore, P(nG) = 1-}\frac{2}{11}=\frac{9}{11} \end{gathered}[/tex]
