Math Problem Statement

If P(B) = 0.8, find P(Bc)

Solution

If P(B)=0.8P(B) = 0.8, then P(Bc)P(B^c) can be found using the complement rule. The complement rule states that:

P(Bc)=1P(B)P(B^c) = 1 - P(B)

Substituting the given value:

P(Bc)=10.8=0.2P(B^c) = 1 - 0.8 = 0.2

So, P(Bc)=0.2P(B^c) = 0.2.
