At a carnival game, you may win an inflatable crayon, you may win a small stuffed animal, or you may win nothing at all. If the probability of winning nothing is 0.72 and the probability of winning a small stuffed animal is 0.19, what is the probability of winning an inflatable crayon? Express your answer as a decimal.

A:0.91
B:0.28
C:0.09
D:0.81

Answer:

C:0.09

Step-by-step explanation:

probability of winning nothing = 0.72 = [tex]\frac{72}{100}[/tex]

probability of winning a small stuffed animal = 0.19 = [tex]\frac{19}{100}[/tex]

probability of winning nothing + probability of winning a stuffed animal

= [tex]\frac{72}{100}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{19}{100}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{91}{100}[/tex]

probability of winning an inflatable crayon = 1 -  [tex]\frac{91}{100}[/tex]

                                                                      = [tex]\frac{100}{100}[/tex] -  [tex]\frac{91}{100}[/tex]

                                                                      = [tex]\frac{9}{100}[/tex]

                                                                      = 0.09
