If a high school graduating class has 128 students, 52 of them are on the honor roll, and 48 of them are attending college, the likelihood that a student selected at random from the class will not be attending college and making the honor roll may be calculated. The number of students who are not on the honor roll is 76, out of these 56 are going to college.

Calculation: 
Assume that there are 128 students in the class as a whole.
Therefore, n(S)=128
Calculate the number of honor roll students who are not attending college.
n(E)=5648=4 
Compute the probability of event E by dividing the number of outcomes of an event by the number of outcomes of sample space. 
P(E)=n(E)n(S) 
=4128 
=132 
Therefore, the probability that a student is on the honor roll and not going to college is 132.
