This is a true statement.

Consider two events A and B. We say they are complementary if P(A)+P(B) = 1

This means that either event A or event B must happen, since the "1" represents 100% probability. Having a probability of 100% means absolute certainty.

---------

Example:

A = the event it rains

B = the event it does not rain

P(A) = 0.30 = 30% chance of rain

P(B) = 0.70 = 70% chance it does not rain

P(A)+P(B) = 0.30+0.70 = 1

So this shows the two events are complementary.

jenny`s mom says she has an hour before it's bedtime. Jenny's spends 3\5 of hour texting a friend and 3\8 of the remaining time

laiz [17]

First you'll need to get the same denominator. So instead of 3/5 and 3/8 you'll have 24/40 and 15/40. Now that we've changed the value of the denominator, the 40/40 will now represents the 1 hour that Jenny has before bedtime. So you add 24/40 and 15/40 and get 39/40. 39/40 stands for the time that Jenny has already spent brushing her teeth and texting her friend all together. Since the 1 hour is 40/40 subtract 39/40 from it to get 1/40. 1/40 is equal to the rest of the time Jenny spends reading or 1.5 minutes.

The phenomenon of bottle flipping has hit the nation. You design a machine that can randomly flip a bottle. You observe 2180 ran

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The variable of interest is the proportion of flips that land the correct way when flipped randomly.

The necessary conditions $n\pi \geq 10$ and $n(1-\pi) \geq 10$ are present.

The 98% confidence interval for the overall proportion of bottles that land correctly when flipped randomly is (0.131, 0.167).

Step-by-step explanation:

Variable of Interest:

Proportion of flips that land the correct way when flipped randomly.

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.
