    P (Diet Cola) = P (D) = 0.9363

    P (Lemonade) = P (L) = 0.0255

    P (Root Bear) = P (R) = 0.0382

    Explanation:

    Let we call Diet Colas as D = 1616

    Lemonade as L = 44

    Root beer as R = 66

    Total sample space size = Sum of all of three = D + L + R

    Total Sample Space Size = 1616 + 44 + 66

    Total Sample Space Size = 1726

    Definition of Probability:

    Probability is a chance of happening of some event which is calculated by using the following formula:

    Probability of happening of some event A = No. of times event A has occurred divided by the total number of events

    Therefore we have:

    P (D) = 1616/1726 = 0.9363

    P (L) = 44/1726 = 0.0255

    P (R) = 66/1726 = 0.0382
