If the probability that an identified hurricane will make a direct hit on a certain stretch of beach is 0.04, what is the probability against a direct hit?
So if it is against, would I take
1-.04 and that would be the answer?
Thanks!
yes.
Yes, you are correct! To find the probability against a direct hit, you would subtract the probability of a direct hit from 1.
So, you would have:
1 - 0.04 = 0.96
Therefore, the probability against a direct hit is 0.96.
Yes, you are correct! To find the probability against a direct hit, you can subtract the probability of a direct hit from 1.
In this case, the probability of a direct hit is 0.04. So, by subtracting 0.04 from 1, you get:
1 - 0.04 = 0.96
Therefore, the probability against a direct hit is 0.96.
