PROBABILITY 1

The probability that Simba will beat Yanga in the national league is ⁹/13. Find the probability that it won’t be able to do so.

Solution

Let P(E)=  ⁹/13         P(E’) = ?

P(E)   + P(E’) = 1

⁹/13 + P(E’) = 1

P(E’) = 1 -  ⁹/13

P(E’) = ¹³/13 -  ⁹/13

P(E’) =  13-9

               13

P (E’) =  4

             13

Hence the probability that it won’t beat Yanga is ⁴/13.
