Sanjay and Tusar play a tennis match. It is knows that the probability of Sanjay winning the match is 0.62. What is the probability of Tusar winning the match?

OPtion

1) 0.62
2) 0.34
3) 0.64
4) 0.66
5) 0.36
6) 0.38
7) 0.68
8) 0.40
9) 0.72
10)0.28

Solution

Let us denote the event Sanjay wins the tennis match by S and the event, Tusar wins the tennis match by R.
Given that P(S) = 0.62 Now, the events S and R are complementary because only one event can happen at time i.e. not S means the event R and nor R means the event S
P(S) + P(R) = 1
P(R) = 1-0.62 = 0.38

Malvika Modi   8 years AGO

P(T)+P(S) = 1;
P(S)=0.62;
P(T)=1-P(S);
=1-0.62
=0.38

p(a)+p(b)=1
let the probability of sanjay wining the match is p(a)
tushar is =p(b)
p(b)=1-0.62=0.38

prob. of Sanjay win=0.62
so prob. of his loos= (1 - 0.62)= 0.38 = Prob. of Tusar win

winning of sanjay and tusar are mutually exclusive events since only one can win the match.
so x + 0.62 =1
x= 0.38

sani musa tsoho   8 years AGO

prob(sanjay win)=0.62 then
prob(tusar win) = prob(sanjay loose)
= 1 - prob(sanjay win)
= 1 - 0.62
= 0.38

Akshat Sood   8 years AGO

Total probability =1
then 0.62+x=1(x=probability of tusar winning the match.)
solve for x
x=0.38

Total Probability = 1
Sanjay's Probability = 0.62
Tusar's Probability = 1-0.2 = 0.38

probability of sanjay winning is 0.62 ie,. 62%
so remaining 0.38 ie,. 38% is probability of tushar winning the match

sum of probability of winning to Sanjay &Tuser=0.62+x=1.
probability of winning Tuser=1-0.62.
x=0.38.

MAX prob =1
SANJAY PROB=0.62
So pro of winnig of Tusar =1-0.62=0.38

Saleel Kulkarni   8 years AGO

Summation of all probabilities of wining is 1. So if Sanjay's wining probability is 0.62 then Tusar's wining probability is 1-0.62=0.38
