Question

one of the 50 states is chosen at random What is the probability of not choosing a state with the letter N?

Answer 1

8 states start with the letter N. Because you’re looking for the amount of states not starting with the letter N, we’ll subtract 8 from 50. Then you’ll put that over the total amount of states. So you should end up with 42/50 which will simplify to 21/25. Hope this helped!
