Question

Sangeeta and Reshma, play a tennis match. It is known that the probability of Sangeeta winning the match is 0.62. What is the probability of Reshma winning the match?

Answer 1

Hi ,

Let S and R denote the events that

Sangeeta wins the match and Reshama

wins the match respectively .

The probability of Sangeeta's winning

chances = P( S ) = 0.62 ( given )

The probability of Reshma's winning

chances = P( R ) = 1 - P( S )

= 1 - 0.62

= 0.38

[ R and S are complementary ]

I hope this helps you.

Answer 2

ANSWER

0.38

Explanation

Given,

Probability of Sangeeta Winning the match is 0.62.

And Probability of Reshma winning the match be P(not E) i.e it will be the probability of Sangeeta not winning the match.

Now we know that =>

P(E) +P(not E) = 1

=>0.62 +P(not E)=1

=>P(not E) = 0.38

Hence the probablity of Reshma winning the same match is 0.38.
