The probability the winner is NOT in Homeroom B can be calculated by adding the number of students in all other homerooms who engaged in the activities and then dividing by the total number of students who participated.
Total number of students who participated and engaged in activities = 1053 + 2053 + 3353 + 2053 = 850
Number of students in Homeroom B who engaged in activities = 2053
Number of students in other homerooms who engaged in activities = 1053 + 3353 = 4406
Probability the winner is NOT in Homeroom B = 4406/850 = 20/53
Therefore, the probability the winner is NOT in Homeroom B is 20 over 53.
