Answer:


0.2

Explanation:

Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Number of posssible

outcomes

There are
5 favorable outcomes ( the
25-20 = 5 people not from his neighborhood).

There are 25 possible outcomes ( the
25 total contacts).

P (call a person not from his neighborhood)
= (5)/(25) = 0.2
