Probability that a randomly chosen college student does not take statistics is 0.16.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that probability that a randomly chosen college student takes statistics is 0.84.

Let the above probability that a randomly chosen college student takes statistics = P (A) = 0.84

Now, probability that a randomly chosen college student does not take statistics is given by = 1 - Probability that a randomly chosen college student takes statistics = 1 - P (A)

So, required probability = 1 - 0.84 = 0.16.
