A person in the audience of a talk show has a 15% chance of winning free movie tickets. What is the chance that a person in the audience may not win free movie ticketsa.85 percentb.79 percent c. 35 percentd.30 percent

Answer 1

Since it's mentioned that a person in the audience of a talk show has a 15% chance of winning free movie tickets, the rest of the percentage must be the chance that he may not win.

We get,

$\text{Chance to win + Chance to lose = 100\%}$$\text{ 15\% + Chance to lose = 100\%}$$\text{ Chance to lose = 100\% - 15\%}$$\text{ Chance to lose = 85\%}$

Therefore, the chance that the audience may not win is 85%.
