Question

In a relay race, the probability of the Galaxy team winning is 22%. In another unrelated relay race, the probability of the Komets team winning is 47%. If the possibility of a tie is not an option, the probability of the Komets losing their race and the Galaxy winning theirs is ?%

Answer 1

Answer: There is 12% chance that Komets losing their race and the Galaxy winning theirs.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Probability that Galaxy team winning = 22%

Probability that Komets team winning = 47%

Probability that Komets team losing = 100-47=53%

We need to find the probability of the Komets losing and Galaxy winning their game.

So, Probability that Komets losing and Galaxy winning their game is given by

`(22)/(100)* (53)/(100)\\\\=(1166)/(10000)\\\\=0.1166\\\\=0.12=12\%`

Hence, there is 12% chance that Komets losing their race and the Galaxy winning theirs.
