If the probability of winning a game is 0.4, what is the probability of losing it?
Answers
probability of winning game=0.4
probability of losing a game=probability of sure event -proba ility winning event
=1-0.4
=0.6
The probability of losing the game is 0.6.
Given:
The probability of winning a game is 0.4
To find:
what is the probability of losing it?
Solution:
The area of mathematics known as probability deals with numerical representations of the likelihood that an event will occur or that a statement is true. An event's probability is a number between 0 and 1, where, roughly speaking, 0 denotes the event's impossibility and 1 denotes certainty.
Total probability is 1
Probability 1 is consisted of probability of winning and loosing a fame
1 = Probability of winning + probability of loosing
1 = 0.4 + probability of loosing
Probability of loosing = 1-0.4 = 0.6
Hence, the answer is 0.6.
