What is the probability that a randomly selected U.S. resident did not live in Pennsylvania? Show step by step work. Round solution to the nearest thousandth
Answer by richard1234(7193)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If you are selecting from the entire U.S. (as opposed to selecting from those five states), then the probability is
1 - P(live in PA) = 1 - (12448279/303824640), roughly 0.959.
