Question

The probability that it will rain today is 3/8. What is the propability that it will not rain today?

Answer 1

P(Rain) + P(Not Rain) = 1

P(Not Rain) = 1 - P(Rain)

Answer 2

im confused

Answer 3

the probability that it rains + probability that it doesn't rain = 1

Answer 4

since those are the only two options

Answer 5

so we represent it like what I wrote above

Answer 6

ok

Answer 7

to find the answer, simply plug in P(Rain) = 3/8 to get

P(Not Rain) = 1 - P(Rain)

P(Not Rain) = 1 - 3/8

Answer 8

okay! so cross multiply?

Answer 9

close, but not really

Answer 10

1 = 8/8, so


P(Not Rain) = 1 - 3/8

P(Not Rain) = 8/8 - 3/8

Now subtract

Answer 11

So 1/4th?

Answer 12

8 - 3 = ???
