Question

At a carnival game, there is a 35% probability of winning a prize. What is the probability of not winning a

prize?
70%
65%
35%
50%

Answer 1

There is a 65% probablility of not winning a prize.

Explanation:

The 35% chance of winning a prize is taken out of a total percentage of 100. If you subtract 35 from 100, the remaining number, 65, is the probability of not winning, since there are only two possible outcomes.

Answer 2

Answer: B) 65%

The two percentages (for winning and not winning) must always add to 100%, which you can think of 100% of a pie. So 100-35 = 65 showing that 35+65 = 100.
