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

round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Explanation:

Calculate the total number of employees

$$ N = 16 + 6 + 10 + 3 = 35 $$

Calculate the number of employees who did not get tacos

$$ N_{\text{Not Tacos}} = 16 + 6 + 10 = 32 $$

Calculate the probability and round to the nearest hundredth

$$ P(\text{Not Tacos}) = \frac{32}{35} \approx 0.91428 \approx 0.91 $$
