Question

find the indicated complement.
a certain group of women has a 0.13% rate of red/green color blindness. if a woman is randomly selected, what is the probability that she does not have red/green color blindness?
the probability that the woman selected does not have red/green color blindness is
(type an integer or a decimal. do not round.)

Explanation:

Step1: Convert percentage to decimal

The rate of red/green color blindness is \(0.13\%=\frac{0.13}{100}=0.0013\).

Step2: Use the complement rule

The complement rule states that \(P(\text{not }A)=1 - P(A)\). Let \(A\) be the event that a woman has red/green color blindness. Then the probability that a woman does not have red/green color blindness is \(P(\text{not }A)=1 - 0.0013\).

$$1-0.0013 = 0.9987$$

Answer:

\(0.9987\)
