Answer 1

Question:

If the probability of winning a netball game is 0.7, what is the probability of not winning the game?

Solution:

Let P(Ē) be the probability of not winning the game

Consider P(E) to be the probability of winning the game→P(E)=0.7

We know that the probability of occurrence of all events lie between the orders 0 to 1

★According to Law of Probability,

P(E)+P(Ē)=1

→P(Ē)=1-P(E)

→P(Ē)=0.3

The chances of not winning the games are 0.3

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

The probability of winning a netball game is 0.7.

To Find :-

Probability of losing it.

Solution :-

Assuming :-

• Let the probability of winning the game  be P(w)
• Let the probability of losing the game be P(l)

The probability of either losing or winning the game is 1 as any one thing must happen.

Probability of losing or winning the game = P(w)  + P(l)

⇒ P(w) = 0.7

⇒ P(w) + P(l) = 1

⇒ 0.7 + P(l) = 1

⇒ P(l) = 0.3

Hence,  the probability of not winning the game is 0.3.
