A sporting goods store received an order of 70 baseball caps, of which 21 were red. If 1 of the 70
caps is selected at random, what is the probability it will NOT be red? (1 point)
75%
35%
30%
70%
To find the probability that a randomly selected cap will NOT be red, we need to find the proportion of caps that are not red out of the total number of caps.
Total number of caps = 70
Number of red caps = 21
Number of caps that are not red = Total number of caps - Number of red caps
= 70 - 21
= 49
Probability of selecting a cap that is not red = Number of caps that are not red / Total number of caps
= 49 / 70
= 7 / 10
= 0.7
= 70%
Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected cap will NOT be red is 70%.
