Question

You have 15 pennies in your pocket. Of those pennies, 4 are Canadian. Suppose you pick a penny out of your pocket at random. Find P(not Canadian).

Answer 2

Hello!

From the problem above, 4 out of 15 pennies are Canadian pennies.

To find the pennies that are not Canadian, we can use this formula:

1 - (Canadian pennies) = (Non-Canadian pennies)

1 - 4/15 = 11/15

Therefore, the probability that you will pick a Canadian penny is 11/15.
