Answer: The probability of randomly selecting a character with a speaking part and getting a female character can be found by subtracting the percentage of male speaking characters from 100% and converting it to a decimal:
P(female speaking character) = 100% - 68.2% = 31.8% = 0.318
Therefore, the probability of randomly selecting a female speaking character is 0.318.
The complement of an event is the probability of the event not happening. So the indicated complements would be:
The probability of randomly selecting a character with a speaking part and getting a male character:
P(male speaking character) = 68.2% = 0.682
The probability of randomly selecting a character with a speaking part and not getting a female character:
P(not female speaking character) = P(male speaking character) = 68.2% = 0.682
