Question

The probability of a football team winning a match is 0.3. The probability of the same football team losing a match is 0.55. What is the probability of the same football team drawing a mathc?

Answer 1

0.15

Explanation:

1 - P winning - P losing = P drawing

1 - 0.3 - 0.55 = 0.15

Answer 2

0.15

Explanation:

From the given information it is clear that

Probability of a football team winning a match = 0.3

Probability of the same football team losing a match = 0.55

We need to find the probability of the same football team drawing a math.

We know that the sum of probability of all distinct possible event is 1.

`P(winning)+P(losing)+P(draw)=1`

`0.3+0.55+P(draw)=1`

`0.85+P(draw)=1`

`P(draw)=1-0.85`

`P(draw)=0.15`

Therefore, the required probability is 0.15.
