Answer: Difference between the probabilities of success and failure of an event is 3/17
To find:
The probabilities of success and failure of the event.
Solution:
1) As per the rule of the probability, the sum of probability of all the possible events is 1
2) According to the question
Success - failure = 3/17 -----------------(I)
As per the rule:
Success + failure = 17/17------------(II)
3) By adding the equation (I) and (II) we get:
2×Success = 3/17 +17/17
2×Success = 20/17
Success = 10/17
and by putting the value of success we get:
Failure = 7/17
The probabilities of success and failure of the event are 10/17 and 7/17.
