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) Responses 30% 30% 75% 75% 70% 70% 35%
The probability that the cap will NOT be red is equal to the number of non-red caps divided by the total number of caps.
There are 70 caps in total, and 21 of them are red. Therefore, the number of non-red caps is 70 - 21 = 49.
The probability of selecting a non-red cap is 49 non-red caps / 70 total caps = 49/70 ≈ 0.7 = 70%.
Thus, the correct response is: 70%
