Question

If the probability that a randomly chosen college student takes statistics is 0.84, then what is the probability that a randomly chosen college student does not take statistics? Give your answer as a decimal.

Answer 1

Answer:

Probability that a randomly chosen college student does not take statistics is 0.16 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that probability that a randomly chosen college student takes statistics is 0.84 .

Let the above probability that a randomly chosen college student takes statistics = P(A) = 0.84

Now, probability that a randomly chosen college student does not take statistics is given by = 1 - Probability that a randomly chosen college student  takes statistics = 1 - P(A)

So, required probability = 1 - 0.84 = 0.16 .
