Probability, SMB-003 MC

A country school surveyed 120 of its students about the type of animals they have at home.

The results are recorded in the Venn diagram below, although the number of students who only own horses is missing.
 

If one of the students is selected at random, what is the probability that the student does not own a goat?

  1. `40/120`
  2. `60/120`
  3. `80/120`
  4. `100/120`

`C`

Show Worked Solution

`text(Number of students who do not own a goat)`

`= 120-(9 + 7 + 4 + 20)`

`= 120-40`

`= 80`
 

`:.\ text(Probability) = 80/120`

`=>C`
