Find the indicated complement. Based on meteorological records, the probability that it will snow in a certain town on January 1st is 0.185. Find the probability that in a given year it will not snow on January 1st in that town. Group of answer choices 0.227 0.815 5.405 1.185

Answer 1

0.815

Explanation:

Each year, on January 1st, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it snows, or it does not snow. The sum of the probabilities of these events is 100% = 1.

In this question:

0.185 probability of snow on January 1.

p probability of not snowing on January 1

0.185 + p = 1

p = 1 - 0.185

p = 0.815

The answer is 0.815
