Question
In a T.T. match between Geeta and Ritu, the probability of the winning of Ritu is 0.73. Find the probability of not winning of Ritu.
Solution
Not winning of Ritu is a complementary event to winning of Ritu
Therefore,
P(winning of Ritu) + P(not winning of Ritu) = 1
P(not winning of Ritu) = 1 – P(winning of Ritu)
P(not winning of Ritu) = 1 – 0.73
P(not winning of Ritu) = 0.27
