Total pieces of candy=10 red circular pieces of candy+10 red square pieces of candy+10 blue triangular pieces of candy+10 blue star-shaped pieces of candy Total pieces of candy=40 pieces<span> We have: 20 red pieces of candy and 20 blue pieces of candy.
Event A: To draw a red candy from the bag (The shape of the piece of candy is not specified).
The complement of the Event A is: 1-Probability of the Event A. In other words, the probability of any event but A.
Event A: Probability of a red candy (It does not matter the shape of it)=20/40=0.5
Complement: 1-P(red candy)</span>⇒1-P(red candy)=1-0.5 <span> Complement of A=0.5
The probability that Josh does not draw a red candy from the bag is 0.5 </span>
