Answer:

0.16 or 16%

Step-by-step explanation:

an easier way to work this out is to convert these decimals into percentage. to do this, multiply the number by 100:

0.2 x 100 = 20%

0.64 x 100 = 64%

a percentage is out of 100 (probability of a win = 20/100 = 1/5) so to work this out, you just have to subtract the percentages that are known from 100:

100% - 20% = 80%

80% - 64% = 16%

∴ the probability of a loss = 16% or 0.16 as a decimal.

Another way to work this out is to add together the amounts that are given then work out what number needs to be added to = 1

0.2 + 0.64 = 0.84

0.84 + ? = 1

0.84 + 0.16 = 1

∴ the probability of a loss = 0.16

HOPE THIS WAS HELPFUL :-)

To find the probability of a loss add .2 and .64 together. You will get .84. The remaining .16 is the probability of a loss. The probability of a loss is .16.

There are 52 playing cards in a standard deck of cards. If Patrica selects a card at random, what is the probability that it wil

Alisiya [41]

Since there are two black queens out of 52 cards, there is a 2/52 chance of drawing a black queen first. This is equivalent to a 1/26 chance.

Now that we have removed a black queen, there are 51 cards left in the deck. 26 of them are red because we only took away a black card. This means that there is a 26/51 of drawing a red card next.

In order to find the probability of both of these happening, we multiply the two together. 1/26 * 26/51 = 26/1326. This reduces to 1/51. So, there is a 1/51 chance of drawing a black queen, then a red card.
