Question

If the probability of drawing an A or B is 9/25, what is the probability of the complementary event?

Answer 1

If an event has a probability of "A", then the complementary event will have a probability of "1 - A".

Given, the probability of an event is 9/25, we can easily find the probability of the complementary event. Shown below:

`\begin{gathered} 1-(9)/(25) \\ =(25)/(25)-(9)/(25) \\ =(16)/(25) \end{gathered}`

The correct answer is:

`(16)/(25)`
