Question

A survey found that 25.3% of the residents in the neighborhood hire gardeners. Find the probability that someone in the neighborhood does not hire a gardener.

Answer 1

It would be 74.7%

Just do 100-25.3=74.7

Answer 2

Answer: =74.7%

Explanation:

Given: The percentage of residents in the neighborhood hire gardeners=25.3%

i.e. The probability of residents in the neighborhood hire gardeners=0.253

Let A denote the event of hiring gardeners.

Then
`P(A)=0.253`

We know that for any event A , the probability of not occuring the event A will be given by :-

`\text{P(A')=1-P(A)}`

`\\\\\Rightarrow\text{P(A')}=1-0.253\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{P(A')}=0.747=74.7%`

Hence, the probability that that someone in the neighborhood does not hire a gardener=74.7%
