Example 5

Sangeeta and Reshma are playing a tennis match. The probability of Sangeeta winning is 0.62. What is the probability of Reshma winning?

 

Solution:
Let S be the event where Sangeeta wins and R be the event where Reshma wins.

The probability of Sangeeta winning is:

P(S) = 0.62

Since one of them must win, the probability of Reshma winning is:

P(R)= 1 โˆ’ 0.62 = 0.38
