Question

If the probability of a thunderstorm today is 2 over 9, then what is the complement or the probability of it not thunderstorming today?

1) 2/9
2) 1/9
3) 7/9
4) 5/9

Answer 1

The complement of the probability of a thunderstorm is 7/9.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complement of an event is the probability of the event not occurring. In this case, the complement represents the probability of it not thunderstorming today. Since the probability of a thunderstorm is 2/9, the probability of it not thunderstorming is 1 - 2/9 = 7/9.
