About This Quiz
Finding Probabilities Of Complementary Events Quiz - Quiz

In this quiz, you'll apply your knowledge of complementary events by calculating probabilities in real-world scenarios. Whether it's rolling dice, drawing marbles, or analyzing experimental data, you'll determine the probability of not getting a specific outcome, using complementary events to simplify your calculations. This quiz will help you understand how... see morecomplementary events work in experiments and how to find their probabilities. see less

2) Using the experimental probability from Question 1, what is the probability of not landing on Red?

Explanation

1 − 0.38 = 0.62

Submit
3) Using the theoretical spinner, what is P(Green)?

Explanation

Green has 2 sections out of 8 → 2/8

Submit
4) Using the theoretical spinner, what is P(not Yellow)?

Explanation

Yellow = 1/8 → 1 − 1/8 = 7/8

Submit
5) What is the probability of not landing on Blue?

Explanation

200 − 48 = 152 → 152/200

Submit
6) If P(Yellow) = 54/200, what is P(not Yellow)?

Explanation

200 − 54 = 146 → 146/200

Submit
7) Bag: 3 red, 5 blue, 2 green. Not blue = ?

Explanation

3 + 2 = 5 not blue → 5/10

Submit
8) Die rolled once. Not 1 or 2 = ?

Explanation

4 good numbers (3,4,5,6) → 4/6 = 2/3

Submit
9) 30% prefer soccer → not soccer =?

Explanation

100 − 30 = 70%

Submit
10) Rain = 0.25 → no rain =?

Explanation

1 − 0.25 = 0.75

Submit
11) P(Heads)=0.6 → P(Tails)=?

Explanation

1 − 0.6 = 0.4

Submit
12) Numbers 1–20. Not multiple of 5 =?

Explanation

4 multiples of 5 → 20 − 4 = 16 → 16/20

Submit
13) Chance of winning = 12% → not winning =?

Explanation

100 − 12 = 88%

Submit
14) Homework collected = 0.9 → not collected =?

Explanation

1 − 0.9 = 0.1

Submit
15) 10 candies: 4 cherry → not cherry =?

Explanation

10 − 4 = 6 → 6/10

Submit
16) Spinner A,B,C,D. P(A)=1/4 → P(not A)=?

Explanation

1 − 1/4 = 3/4

Submit
17) 50 flips: Heads 28 times → not Heads =?

Explanation

50 − 28 = 22 → 22/50

Submit
18) Card from 52 cards → not heart =?

Explanation

13 hearts → 52 − 13 = 39 → 39/52 = 3/4

Submit
19) Attend = 0.58 → not attend =?

Explanation

1 − 0.58 = 0.42

Submit
20) Raffle 200 tickets, you have 5 → not win =?
