At a carnival, the probability that you choose a winning rubber duck from 25 sucks is 0.24.

a. How many are NOT winning ducks?

b. Describe the likelihood of NOT choosing a winning duck.

The game is formed such that a duck is either winning duck or a non winning duck.

there is no other result for any duck present in the game.

Also choosing a duck is a fair game it is independent of any prior situation.

here we would be using a basic probability formula, that is

Probability of a result = number of items in favour of that result divide by total number of items present in the game.

Let us start with assuming that total number of winning ducks are = x

The probability of winning a duck =

: number of winning ducks divide by total number of ducks

this gives us : 0.24 = x / 25

0.24 times 25 = x

6 = x

so there are 6 ducks are winning duck rest 25 - 6 = 19 are non winning duck

the probability of not choosing a winning duck =

(total number of ducks which are non winning) / total number of ducks

(25 - 6) divide by 25

19/25 = 0.76

Answer (a) = 19

Answer (b) = 0.76
