Probability question again :O You have 15 pennies in your pocket. Of those pennies, 3 are Canadian. Suppose you pick a penny out of your pocket at random. Find P(not Canadian).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12/15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

P(12)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is 15 pennies which is your total right. that is your denominator and you want to subtract the 3 canadian pennies to find out the probability of the rest. which is 12/15.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Total number of pennies = 15 Number of Canadian pennies = 3 Number of NOT Canadian pennies = 15-3 = 12 So, Probability(NOT Canadian) = ?/15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12/15 simplified that would be what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
