Question

If the probability of winning a race of an athlete is 1/6 less than twice the probability of losing the race, find the probability of winning the race?​

Answer 1

Answer:

11/18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P(Note E) = x

P(E) = 2x-1/6

Now,

As we know that the sum of P(E) and P( Not E) is 1

So,

x+2x-1/6=1

=> 3x=1+1/6

=>x=7/6*1/3

=7/18 i.e P(Not E)

P(E) = 1-7/18

=11/18
