A crate of soft drinks contains 10 bottle of Coca-Cola 8 of Fanta and 6 of Sprite. If one bottle is selected at random, what is the probability that it is Not a Coca-Cola bottle?
-
A.
(frac{5}{12}) -
B.
(frac{1}{3}) -
C.
(frac{3}{4}) -
D.
(frac{7}{12})
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation
Coca-Cola = 10 bottles, Fanta = 8 bottles, Spirite = 6 bottles
Total = 24
P(Coca-Cola) = (frac{10}{24}); P(not Coca-Cola)
1 – (frac{10}{24})
(frac{24 – 10}{24} = frac{14}{24} = frac{7}{12})
