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?
- \(\frac{5}{12}\)
- \(\frac{1}{3}\)
- \(\frac{3}{4}\)
-
\(\frac{7}{12}\)
The correct answer is: 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 - \(\frac{10}{24}\)
\(\frac{24 - 10}{24} = \frac{14}{24} = \frac{7}{12}\)
