Samantha believes that the probability of her winning the gymnastics meet is 3/8. what is the probability of her losing the gymnastic meet
Accepted Solution
A:
Given that the probability of an event happening is P(E), then the probability that the event will not happen is given by 1 - P(E).
Therefore, given that the probability that Samantha will win the gymnastic meet is 3/8, the probability of her losing the gymnastic meet is 1 - 3/8 = 5/8.
