Question

Given the probability p=0.15 that an event will not happen, how do you find the probability that the event will happen?

Answer 1

The probability that the event will happen is `0.85`

Explanation:

There areonly two possibilities, one - event happening and two - event not happening. As probabbility of event not happening is `0.15` i.e. `15%` possibikity of event not happening,

possibility that event will happen is `100%-15%=85%`

Hence the probability that the event will happen is `0.85`
