(Probability of it Happening) + (Probability of it not Happening) = 1 (or 100%)

this makes since because it is for sure either going to happen or not happen.
x = probability not happening
3/8 + x = 1
x = 1- 3/8
x = 5/8 (or 62.5%)

How can you decide which variable to solve for first when you are solving a linear system by substitution
Helen [10]
There are many factors, it is all a matter of preference, normally, you want to try to solve for the easiest one to get to
example

if y ou had

(x-3)^2+y=9
you would solve for y becuase it is less tricky

it is all a matter of preference
