Question

Find P(Not a 3).

A. 0.30
B. 0.15
c. 0.85
D. 0.70

Answer 1

P(Not a 3)=0.85. This is option C.

Explanation:

P(Not a 3) would include values 1,2 and 4.

Therefore, P(Not a 3) would be the combined totals of the probabilities of P(1), P(2) and P(4).

P(Not a 3)= P(1)+P(2)+P(4)

P(Not a 3)= 0.30+0.40+0.15

P(Not a 3)=0.85

Alternate method

P(Not a 3) is the same as 1-P(3)

P(Not a 3)=1-P(3)

P(Not a 3)= 1-0.15

P(Not a 3)=0.85
