Question

The probability that paul wins a raffle is given by the expression a/b

write down an expression in the form of
a combined single fraction for the probability that paul does not win​

Answer 1

The expression of the probability that Paul does not win a raffle expressed as a combined single fraction is
`(b-a)/(b)`

Explanation:

Given that the probability that Paul wins a raffle is given by the expression a/b, we have;

The probability that Paul wins a raffle. p(x) = a/b

Therefore, the probability that Paul does not win a raffle, p'(x) = 1 - a/b

To express the probability that Paul does not win a raffle as a combined single fraction, we have;

`p'(x) = 1 -(a)/(b) = (b-a)/(b)`

The expression of the probability that Paul does not win a raffle expressed as a combined single fraction =
`(b-a)/(b)`
