Q:

If P(not yellow) = 4/15, which best describes the probability of the complement of the event?A. P(yellow) = 8/15B. P(yellow) = 11/15C. P(not yellow) = 8/15D. P(not yellow) = 11/15

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:   B. P(yellow) = 11/15Step-by-step explanation:  A:event that it is not yellow                                               B(complement of A):event that it is yellow                             P(B)=1-P(A)                       ⇒  P(B)=1-[tex]\frac{4}{15}[/tex]                       ⇒ P(B)= [tex]\frac{15-4}{15}[/tex]                       ⇒ P(B)= [tex]\frac{11}{15}[/tex]                       ⇒ P(yellow)= 11/15
