Question
If P(E) = 0.59; find P(not E).
Solution
P(E) + P(not E) = 1
0.59 + P(not E) = 1
P(not E) = 1 – 0.59 = 0.41

A card is drawn from a well-shuffled pack of 52 playing cards. Find the probability of the event, the card drawn is a red card.
Solution:
Suppose ‘S’ is sample space.
∴ n(S) = 52
Event A: Card drawn is a red card.
∴ Total red cards = `square` hearts + 13 diamonds
∴ n(A) = `square`
∴ p(A) = `square/("n"("s"))` ....formula
∴ p(A) = `26/52`
∴ p(A) = `square`
