Answer:

11/15

Step-by-step explanation:

If 4 out of 15 are Canadian, the ratio of the probability of picking a Canadian is 4/15. That means that the probability of NOT picking a Canadian is the complement of 4/15 which is 11/15. Therefore, the probability of not picking a Canadian is the same thing as the probability of picking an American penny which is 11/15.
