Question

Suppose the probability of success for a binomial trial is 28%. What is the probability of failure for this same trial?Your answer:28%56%72%44%

Answer 1

Since we're dealing with a binomial trial, each trial can result in just two possible outcomes. On this case, the two possible outcomes are sucess and failure. The sum of all the outcomes should add up to 100%, therefore, if we subtract the probability of sucess from 100%, we find the probability of failure.

`100\%-28\%=72\%`

The probability of failure is 72%.
