Question

A sporting goods store received an order of 80 baseball caps, of which 12 were green. If 1 of the 80 caps is selected at random, what is the probability it will NOT be green?
15%
68%
85%
88%

Answer 1

Answer:

85%

Step-by-step explanation:

If the sporting goods store received a lot of 80 baseball caps... and 12 of them were green that means that 68 (80-12) were NOT green.

Thus, the probably to randomly pick up a cap that is NOT green is 68 out of 80...

68/80 = 17/20 = 85%
