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(\text{not a hotdog}) = ? \\)

round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Explanation:

Calculate the total number of students

$$ N = 14 + 10 + 12 + 4 = 40 $$

Calculate the number of students who did not buy a hotdog

$$ N_{\text{not hotdog}} = 40 - 14 = 26 $$

Calculate the probability and round to the nearest hundredth

$$ P(\text{Not a Hotdog}) = \frac{26}{40} = 0.65 $$

Answer:

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.
