Question

The probability that Gavyn wins in a raffle is given by the expression

p. Write down an expression for the probability that Gavyn does not win.

Answer 1

Answer: 1 - p

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's replace p with something like 0.72

Pick any number between 0 and 1.

This says he has a 72% chance to win

1-p = 1-0.72 = 0.28

and he has a 28% chance of not winning.
