Answer:
0.486
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a box contains recipes from five categories.
The following table shows the possible categories and the associated probability for a recipe randomly chosen.
Genre Probability
Main Dish 0.421
Appetizer 0.210
Desert 0.103
Salad 0.173
Vegetable 0.093
This is a proper probability distribution function because total prob =1 and also each prob lies between 0 and 1.
The probability of randomly selecting anything but a vegetable or a main dish category
= Prob of selecting appetizer or dessert or salad
= [tex]0.210+0.103+0.173\\=0.486[/tex]
