Question

In a group of 55 people, 33 are coffee drinkers and 12 are tea drinkers. Assuming that no one in this group drinks both tea and coffee, what is the probability that a person picked at random from the group does not drink tea or coffee?

Answer 2

12+33=45. 45/55 people drink tea or coffee. This means if you picked someone randomly there would be a 45/55 chance that they drink tea or coffee. This means there is a 10/55 chance of someone who drinks neither. We can simplify this to 2/11.
