The table shows the​ distribution, by​ age, of a random sample of 294

0
moviegoers ages​ 12-74. If one moviegoer is randomly selected from this​ population, find the​ probability, expressed as a simplified​ fraction, that the moviegoer is not in the 25 dash 44

age range.

To find the probability that the moviegoer is not in the 25-44 age range, we need to subtract the probability of the moviegoer being in the 25-44 age range from 1.

From the table, we can see that the percentage of moviegoers in the 25-44 age range is 30%.

Therefore, the probability of the moviegoer being in the 25-44 age range is 0.30.

The probability of the moviegoer not being in the 25-44 age range is 1 - 0.30 = 0.70.

Therefore, the probability, expressed as a simplified fraction, that the moviegoer is not in the 25-44 age range is 70/100 = 7/10.
