Q. Suzie is shopping for a new bicycle. She is most interested in color and type of tires.\newline\begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|}\newline\hline & Red & Green \\\newline\hline Road bike tires & 55 & 99 \\\newline\hline Mountain bike tires & 66 & 77 \\\newline\hline City bike tires & 88 & 77 \\\newline\hline\newline\end{tabular}\newlineWhat is the probability that a randomly selected bike does not have mountain bike tires and is not red?\newlineSimplify any fractions.\newline \square
  1. Total Bikes Calculation: Total number of bikes = 55 (Red Road) + 99 (Green Road) + 66 (Red Mountain) + 77 (Green Mountain) + 88 (Red City) + 77 (Green City) = 4242 bikes.
  2. Non-Red Bikes Count: Number of bikes that are not red = 99 (Green Road) + 77 (Green Mountain) + 77 (Green City) = 2323 bikes.
  3. Non-Mountain Tires Count: Number of bikes that do not have mountain bike tires = 55 (Red Road) + 99 (Green Road) + 88 (Red City) + 77 (Green City) = 2929 bikes.
  4. Non-Red Non-Mountain Bikes Count: Number of bikes that are not red and do not have mountain bike tires = 99 (Green Road) + 77 (Green City) = 1616 bikes.
  5. Probability Calculation: Probability = Number of bikes that are not red and do not have mountain bike tiresTotal number of bikes\frac{\text{Number of bikes that are not red and do not have mountain bike tires}}{\text{Total number of bikes}} = 1642\frac{16}{42}.
  6. Fraction Simplification: Simplify the fraction 1642\frac{16}{42} by dividing both numerator and denominator by 2=8212 = \frac{8}{21}.
