Question

an office hosts a lunch. 16 employees get a sandwich, 6 employees get pasta, 10 employees get salad, and 3 employees get tacos. find the probability that an employee did not get pasta.

\\(p(\text{not pasta}) = ?\\)

round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Explanation:

Calculate the total number of employees

$$ \text{Total} = 16 + 6 + 10 + 3 = 35 $$

Calculate the number of employees who did not get pasta

$$ \text{Not Pasta} = 35 - 6 = 29 $$

Calculate the probability and round to the nearest hundredth

$$ P(\text{Not Pasta}) = \frac{29}{35} \approx 0.82857 \approx 0.83 $$
