Question 459703: A game at a carnival has 75 rubber ducks floating in water. The ducks are numbered 1 to 75, with numbers written on their undersides so they can�t be seen. To play, you select a duck and see what number it has. If the number is less than 60, you win a consolation prize. If the number is at least 60 but less than or equal to 70, you win a stuffed duck. If the number is greater than 70 you win a giant, stuffed banana. What is the probability you win a stuffed duck? What is the probability you don�t win a duck or a banana?

A game at a carnival has 75 rubber ducks floating in water.
The ducks are numbered 1 to 75, with numbers written on their undersides so they can�t be seen.
To play, you select a duck and see what number it has.
If the number is less than 60, you win a consolation prize:::Prob = 59/75
---------------------------------------
If the number is at least 60 but less than or equal to 70, you win a stuffed duck::::Prob = 11/75
---------------------------------------
If the number is greater than 70 you win a giant, stuffed banana:::Prob = 4/75.
---------------------------------------
What is the probability you win a stuffed duck?:::Prob = 11/75
---------------------------------------
What is the probability you don�t win a duck or a banana?:::Prob = 59/75
