Question

The probability that paul wins a raffle is given by the expression a/b
write down an expression in the form of
a combined single fraction for the probability that paul does not win​

Answer 1

Answer:

The expression of the probability that Paul does not win a raffle expressed as  a combined single fraction is $\dfrac{b-a}{b}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the probability that Paul wins a raffle is given by the expression a/b, we have;

The probability that Paul wins a raffle. p(x) = a/b

Therefore, the probability that Paul does not win a raffle, p'(x) = 1 - a/b

To express the probability that Paul does not win a raffle as a combined single fraction, we have;

$p'(x) = 1 -\dfrac{a}{b} = \dfrac{b-a}{b}$

The expression of the probability that Paul does not win a raffle expressed as  a combined single fraction = $\dfrac{b-a}{b}$
