Question

I NEED HELP !!! If the probability of an event is StartFraction 2 over 7 EndFraction, what must be the probability of its complement?
StartFraction 1 over 7 EndFraction
StartFraction 2 over 7 EndFraction
StartFraction 4 over 7 EndFraction
StartFraction 5 over 7 EndFraction

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is StartFraction 5 over 7 EndFraction

Answer 2

Answer:

The probability of the complement of the original event is 5/7.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of the complement of an event is 1 less the probability of the event, so

We get:  1 - 2/7, or 5/7

The probability of the complement of the original event is 5/7.

Note that  5/7  and 2/7  add up  to 7/7, or 1.
