Answer:

A. 0.4

B.0.9

C.0.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Answers:

  • a)    0.4
  • b)   0.9
  • c)   0.7

===========================================

Explanation:

Part (a)

P(winning) = 0.6 is given

The probability of not winning is 1 - P(winning) = 1 - 0.6 = 0.4

----------------

Part (b)

P(losing) = 0.1 is given

The probability of not losing is 1 - P(losing) = 1 - 0.1 = 0.9

-----------------

Part (c)

The probability of winning is 0.6 and the probability of losing is 0.1

This adds to 0.6+0.1 = 0.7, which must mean 0.3 is the probability of drawing (since 0.7+0.3 = 1)

So the probability of not drawing is 1 - P(draw) = 1 - 0.3 = 0.7, which is exactly the sum of the probabilities of winning and losing.
