You can put this solution on YOUR website! Researchers find that the 2004 population of California was 35,893,799, the 2004 population of Pennsylvania was 12,406,292, and the total United States population was 293,655,404. What is the probability that a randomly selected United States resident did not live in California? Round to the nearest thousandth of a percent.
-----------------------------------------------
P(not CA) = 1 - P(living in CA)
= 1 - (35,893,799/293655404)
= 1 - 0.122231..
= 0.8777689..
= 87.7768%
