Question

Given that every twenty-third person in line will get a coupon for a free box of popcorn at the movies, what is the probability that you don’t get a coupon when you’re in line? Enter a fraction or round your answer to 4
decimal places, if necessary.

Answer 1

The probability of not getting a coupon is 22/23.

This can be calculated as 1 - (1/23) = 22/23.

Therefore, the probability of not getting a coupon is 0.9565 (rounded to 4 decimal places).
