There are a total of 54 nuts in the bag, and 18 of them are pecans.
The probability of NOT selecting a pecan can be calculated by finding the number of nuts that are not pecans (which are the walnuts and almonds) and dividing by the total number of nuts.
There are 18 walnuts + 18 almonds = 36 nuts that are not pecans.
Therefore, the probability of NOT selecting a pecan is 36/54 = 2/3 or approximately 0.67, which is 67%.
A bag of mixed nuts contains 18 pecans, 18 walnuts, and 18 almonds. What is the probability of NOT randomly selecting a pecan from the bag?.
