Question

Suppose the newspaper states that the probability of rain today is 50%. What is the complement of the event "rain today"?

Answer 1

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Let Probability of rain today = P(rain today) = 50% = 0.5

The complement of an event A denoted as A' means the opposite of event A is obtained by subtracting event a from 1.

P(rain today) = 0.5

The complement of P(rain today) ; means the probability that it will NOT rain today;

Hence, P(raintoday') = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5 = 50%
