Given that every fifteenth 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.

We know that every 15th person gets a free box of popcorn.

This depends on order, but nobody knows what is his actual position, so we can assume that:

of 15 people, 1 will get a free box of popcorn.

Then the probability of getting free popcorn is:

1/15

And the negation, (the probability of not getting a free box) is:

1 - 1/15 = 14/15 = 0.93...

the equivalent expression are always the hardest ones but you look at the gcf also
