1.	Two players, Sangeeta and Reshma play a tennismatch. It is known that the probability of Sangeetawinning the match is 0.62. What is the probabilityof Reshma winning the match?
Answer» Let S and R denote the events that Sangeeta wins the match and Reshama wins the match respectively . The probability of Sangeeta's winning chances = P( S ) = 0.62 ( given ) The probability of Reshma's winning chances = P( R ) = 1 - P( S ) = 1 - 0.62 = 0.38 [ R and S are complementary ]

Answer»

Let S and R denote the events that

Sangeeta wins the match and Reshama

wins the match respectively .

The probability of Sangeeta's winning

chances = P( S ) = 0.62 ( given )

The probability of Reshma's winning

chances = P( R ) = 1 - P( S )

= 1 - 0.62

= 0.38

[ R and S are complementary ]
