The probability of winning a game is 25, the probability of losing is_

Question

The probability of winning a game is

\frac{2}{5}

, the probability of losing is__. (in decimal form)

Answer:
:
Winning or losing a game are complementary events. We know that, for complementary events, P(A) + P(notA) = 1.
Thus, if P(winning) =

\frac{2}{5}

Then, P(losing) = 1 -

\frac{2}{5}

\Rightarrow

P(losing) =

\frac{3}{5}

= 0.6.
