पर्याय
p – 1
p
1 – p
`1 - 1/"p"`
उत्तर
If the probability of an event is p, the probability of its complementary event will be 1 – p.
Explanation:
Since, probability of an event + probability of its complementary event = 1
So, probability of its complementary event = 1 – probability of an event = 1 – p

A card is drawn at random from a pack of well shuffled 52 playing cards. Complete the following activity to find the probability that the card drawn is:
Event A: The card drawn is an ace.
Event B: The card drawn is a spade.
Activity: 'S' is the sample space.
∴ n(S) = 52
Event A: The card drawn is an ace.
∴ n(A) = `square`
P(A) = `square` ......(formula)
∴ P(A) = `square/52`
∴ P(A) = `square/13`
Event B: The card drawn is a spade.
∴ n(B) = `square`
P(B) = `(n(B))/(n(S))`
∴ P(B) = `square/4`
