In 3 billion repetitions of an experiment, a random event occurred in 500 million cases.


I know the probability of this event is 1/6 – what is the expected probability of the complement of the event?

5/6 is your other percentage

Answer:

The expected probability of the complement of the event is:

                      \(\dfrac{5}{6}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that for any event A and the complement of the event i.e. \(A^c\) the sum of the probabilities of both the events is equal to 1.

i.e. if P denote the probability of an event then we have:

\(P(A)+P(A^c)=1\)

Here we have the probability of event A as:

                \(P(A)=\dfrac{1}{6}\)

Hence,

\(\dfrac{!}{6}+P(A^c)=1\\\\\\i.e.\\\\\\P(A^c)=1-\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\\\i.e.\\\\\\P(A^c)=\dfrac{6-1}{6}\\\\\\i.e.\\\\\\\\P(A^c)=\dfrac{5}{6}\)

           Hence, the answer is:

                \(\dfrac{5}{6}\)
