Question

There is 57% chance that Lionel will pass his English exam.

a. What is the chance that Lionel will fail his English exam?

b. Is it more likely that Lionel will pass his exam or fail his exam

Answer 1

A. A 43% chance that Lionel will fail.

B. He is more likely to pass the exam than fail it.

Explanation:

It's not as hard as you might think

To figure out the chance he'll fail the exam, we simply subtract 100% from 57%, which will give us 43%.

To figure out if he's more likely to fail or pass, we just take a quick look at the percentages, if the percentage is over 50%, he'll have a more likely chance of passing, if it was under 50%, he'd have a more likely chance of failing.
