Probability is defined as the measurement of the likelihood of an outcome. It is mathematically expressed as:
![P=\frac{no\text{ of selected outcome}}{no\text{ of total outcomes}}](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/hbgrvf0x9z5llyezcqef8hcttypxebypwn.png)
The selected outcome here is the number of members classified under boot camp.
![\text{ No of bootcamp members = }238\text{ + 283=521}](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/uhkilmsystvjuqp64pra9w4gbqmus4g771.png)
The probability of attending the boot camp therefore is:
![P=(521)/(2400)=0.2171](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/uqb66lj7bsm8q669vg9ollcmguftqaa6c5.png)
We know from probability that:
![\begin{gathered} P+Q=1 \\ \text{ Where} \\ Q\text{ = probability of non occurence of P} \end{gathered}](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/ln3bdcvqqvv37d9wmvpi0jpxrlhqzddw0u.png)
The probability of non-attendance of the boot camp therefore is:
![Q=1-(521)/(2400)=0.7829](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/ygt6s2g0kno0clcoc85slbu9fq4x4dvyu8.png)
The probability that an attendee does not attend a boot camp is 0.7829
