You have 15 pennies in your pocket, 3 are Canadian. You pick aenny out of your pocket at random. FInd p (not Canadian)
To find the probability (p) of picking a penny that is not Canadian, we need to determine the total number of non-Canadian pennies and the total number of pennies in your pocket.
Given that you have 15 pennies in your pocket and 3 of them are Canadian, the number of non-Canadian pennies would be 15 - 3 = 12.
Now, we can calculate the probability:
p = (number of non-Canadian pennies / total number of pennies)
p = 12 / 15
Therefore, the probability of picking a penny that is not Canadian is 12/15 or 4/5.
To find the probability of picking a penny that is not Canadian, we need to determine the total number of pennies that are not Canadian in the pocket and divide it by the total number of pennies in the pocket.
Given that there are 15 pennies in total and 3 of them are Canadian, there are 15 - 3 = 12 pennies that are not Canadian in the pocket.
Therefore, the probability of picking a penny that is not Canadian is p = 12/15 = 4/5.
