Question

the probability of a certain event occurring is 0.27. what is the probability that the event will not occur? (1 point) 1 0 0.73 0.27

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the probability formula

The sum of the probability of an event occurring \(P(A)\) and the probability of the event not occurring \(P(\overline{A})\) is \(1\), i.e., \(P(A)+P(\overline{A}) = 1\).

Step2: Solve for \(P(\overline{A})\)

Given \(P(A)=0.27\), we substitute into the formula \(P(\overline{A})=1 - P(A)\).
So, \(P(\overline{A})=1 - 0.27\).

$$P(\overline{A})=0.73$$

Answer:

\(0.73\)
