Question

the probability of the complement of an event is _______ less than the probability of the event itd self possible answers sometimesalwaysnevernot enough information provided to answer the question

Answer 1

The complement rule states that the sum of the probabilities of an event and its complement must equal to 1. That is, for an event A and its complement A', we have

`P(A)+P(A^(\prime))=1`

so, as long as the sum is 1, the probability of the complement of an event is sometimes less than the probability of the event itself .
