Easy Data Analysis And Probability Probability

A box contains 6 different books: 2 fiction, 3 non-fiction, and 1 reference. If one book is randomly selected from the box, what is the probability that the book selected is a non-fiction book?

To find the probability, use the formula:

$$P(A) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$$

$$\frac{1}{2}$$

$$\frac{1}{3}$$

$$\frac{1}{6}$$
