Question

The probability that June wins in a raffle is given by the expression p . Write down an expression for the probability that June does not win

Answer 1

1 - p

Explanation:

Given

`Winning = p`

Required

Determine the probability of not winning

To do this, we apply the complement rule which is:

`Not\ Winning = 1 - Winning`

Substitute p for Winning

`Not\ Winning = 1 - p`

Hence, the expression that June does not win is: 1 - p
