The probability of losing a game is 0.6 What is the probability of winning the game?

Given: P(winning) = 0.6

We know that if P(favorable) is the probability of favorable outcomes, then

P(unfavorable), is probability of unfavorable outcomes It given by

P(unfavorable) = 1 – P(favorable)

Therefore,

P(losing) = 1 – P(winning) = 1 – 0.6 = 0.4

(iii) If E be an event, then p (E) +p (not E) = _______

(iv) If E is an event, then _______ <p (E)< _______
