Question

If the difference between the probability of success and failure of an event is 5/19. Find the probability of success and failure of the event.​

Answer 1

its 14/19

Step-by-step explanation:

if failure is 5/19 subtract 19-5 then 14/19 is the solution

Answer 2

answer:

$\frac{7}{19}$

step by step explanation:

let P be the probability of success and Q be the probability of failure.

then,according to the question,

P-q =

$\frac{5}{19}$

also,we know that,p+q = 1

2p=5/19+1

2p= 5+19/19

p= 24/2×19

p=12/19

put p=12/19 in Eq.(ii) we get 12/19+q=1

=q=1-12/19=19-12/19=7/19

{Hence, the probability of success is 12/19 and the probability of failure is 7/19.}
