Question

Find the number of outcomes in the complement of the given event. Out of 246 shoes in a department store, 198 are women's shoes.

Answer 1

Answer:

I suppose that the event here is selecting randomly a shoe.

We know that there are 246 shoes in the store, and 198 of them are women's shoes.

Then there are 246 - 198 = 48 shoes that are not women's shoes.

This means that if the event is something like "finding randomly a women's shoe"

The complement would be "selecting randomly a shoe which is not a women's shoe"

And there will be 48 outcomes that meet this condition.
