If the probability of winning a game is $ 0.3 $, what is the probability of loosing it?

Given:

The probability of winning a game is \( 0.3 \).

To do:

We have to find the probability of losing it.

Solution:

Let the probability of winning the game be $p(A)$ and the probability of not winning the game be $p(\overline{A})$.

The probability of winning the game $p(A)=0.3$

We know that,

$p(E)+p(\overline{E})=1$

Therefore,

$0.3+p(\overline{A})=1$

$p(\overline{A})=1-0.3=0.7$

The probability of not winning the game is $0.7$.
