. If the results of a probability experiment can be any integer from 16 to 18 and the
probability that the integer is less than 20 is 0.88, what is the probability that the
integer be 20 or more?

Respuesta :

Using the probability concept, considering complementary probabilities, there is a 0.12 = 12% probability that the integer is of 20 or more.

What is a probability?

A probability is given by the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

If two events are complementary, the sum of their probabilities is of 1. In this problem, we have that an integer being less than 20 is complementary to an integer being 20 or more.

We have that:

  • There is a 0.88 probability that the number is less than 20.
  • There is a x probability that the number is 20 or more.

These events are complementary, hence:

0.88 + x = 1

x = 1 - 0.88

x = 0.12

There is a 0.12 = 12% probability that the integer is of 20 or more.
